My first day out with my new Camera (EHVK&GLV V)
Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

My first day out with my new Camera (EHVK&GLV V)
Yesterday I bought a new Body so I decided to take it for a spin today.
I started this morning with a visit to Volkel AB. A total of 7 F-16's and 1 PC-7 was noted
1. We started the day with a PC-7
2. Next up where two aproaches by the RNLAF Test Plane from EHLW with the nickname "Orange Jumper"
3. Then the Volkel F-16's came back from there morning missions
4. This one banked really nice
5. Apparantly there aren't many F-16's available for local missions so they pulled the Orange Lion from her cave.
After the morning mission at Volkel I drove to the GLV V to try some shots on the Helo's
There where to different CH-47D flight active during the day. The Callsigns where Grizzly21(around 13:00) and Grizzly22(Around 15:00)
Both flights made use of D-663 with the nickname "Blizzard"
6.
7.
8. Head on
9. This is the new Engineer Tank of the Dutch Army, It is called the Kodiak
C+C Welcome

Nice pics but some are not as sharp as they should have been.

Re: My first day out with my new Camera (EHVK&GLV V)
Thanks all, The unsharpness was one of the things that stood out for me aswell. I was fighting to find the right shutterspeed and focus points. I now used the 19 point focus point, I'm wondering if anyone with 7D experience have some focuspoint advise for me?Jutter wrote:Nice pics but some are not as sharp as they should have been.

Hi...
When I click on a picture, using the right mouse button, and select "Properties" (eigenschappen) I don't see any exif information... I only see the tab "General" (algemeen).
Grtz.

Maybe a stupid question, but... how do I show the exif information on my screen?Eagledriver 32 wrote:according the exif file

You need to download an exif viewer plug-in for your browser...
This one https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/a ... if-viewer/ works fine with Firefox
good luck!

Re: My first day out with my new Camera (EHVK&GLV V)
I also have the 7D and I have the same experience as you. Unsharp photos. I have no idea how this can be. I tried all sorts of setting with the AF, but with no results. Maybe my camera needs to be calibrated with the lenses I use. I’m also concerned with the noise the 7D produces. I see the same amount of noise, and even worse, in my photos. They are taken with similar conditions as your photos. But maybe I’m being a “zeikert”….Nielis wrote:Thanks all, The unsharpness was one of the things that stood out for me aswell.
