Nice to see that they've come to Schiphol! The weather conditions looks good.
You might want to check your sharpening in PS, it looks like you've done it a bit too much. Look at the line at the nose of the USAF Gulfstream in the last picture, it's kinda rigged.

Seems to me the 'secret tip' from Evert is that less sharpening is not more work but looks better. IMHO that is the only thing that needs adjustment for photos of this size and use, meaning quick and dirty would be really all you need if you do it slightly different. 8)
Great lighting, thanks for sharing!

Hi Evert en Erik

Actually, I've noticed the nose is out of focus... !
The lens (Canon 70-200 2.8L ) was set at 2.8 @130mm
so, its not the sharpening, but the out of focus which causes the rigged nose is my guess..

Here is my small impression of two days:

First time I used my one pod for a night shot, I am happy with the result.

The other participants could only be taken under ==censored== situations this afternoon (backlight, shade or stairs in the front), so this is all folks.

Hi Johan,

Not exactly what I meant. You got some 'halos' and some 'jaggies', both signs of oversharpening (possibly combined with Shadow/Highlight Tool). Look at the Greek Gulf for instance: halos best visible around the main gear, jaggies in leading edges, roundel and regi (the cheatlines are a different story, near-horizontal lines get distorted at this resolution anyway).

However, your second C-37 version is indeed better than the first I think! Main reason for my reaction was that I think your shots can turn out very well with very little 'Shopping'. ;)

One of mine of the C-32 departing in the last rays of the sun of this evening:

Moved to Phototopic AMS/EHAM 31-03-09, to combine it with other shots I made.

Greetz,
Hans.
