Forum rules
ImageThis 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.

Stayed south for the weekend and to fill the timegap between work I drove to this museum and check out its collection.
Here is my take on that, more to be found at the usual place.

Hello,
From my own experiences I know that the lighting conditions are very difficult at Le Bourget, so well done on your trip.
I saw on your site that you advise to take a tripod with you on a possible visit, please be advised that the use of a tripod needs prior permission from the museum, a monopod was in my case not a problem.
I hope this is off use to someone.
Best regards,
Laurent

Crizz,

Probably never been in Brussels Air Museum either, no photography with tripod or monopod without prior permission.
They consider you a 'professional' when you use a tripod/monopod, and then you need permission (look at their site : http://www.airmuseum.be" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (visitor information)

Please note that until a few years ago, in Brussels, photography was completely 'verboten' without prior written permission !
You were not even allowed to take you photobag inside, it was kept for you at the entrance !

This is relatively common practice in several museums, but it depends a bit on the 'time of day' and 'who's in charge' on how the rules are applied.
In the RAF Museum in Hendon you need to ask permission for a tripod as well.
On their site it says :
"...Visitors who wish to film or take photographs in the Museum may do so within the exhibition areas of the Museum from the walkway. To avoid causing a trip hazard for other users of the Museum, they should use a tripod only with the assistance or permission of a member of staff..."

Best regards,

Crizz,
I edited my reply slightly (some additional info on Hendon), but I always contact the museum in advance when I want to take pictures with tripod.
In 99.9% of the cases it's not a problem, but one never knows.
Best regards,
Laurent
