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.

Fly to the moon

Post by Wildpicture »

This afternoon I was sitting in my garden and playing with my camera when I saw some aircraft flying in the direction of Schiphol (about 50km away). I quickly took my telelens to make some snapshots. I used 500mm, 1.4x converter and the camera's 1.3x cropfactor to get to 910mm effectively. The shots were taken holding everything in my hands, which was quite heavy.

I was very lucky that some of the aircraft flew really close to the moon which was visible. This is no Photoshop work but an actual picture without modifications.

By the way, I was surprised that these shots (while hand held with over 900mm) were still very sharp. The small texts "The Flying Dutchman" and "Royal Dutch Airlines" just below the dark line on the fuselage are sharp and readable.
