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.

Polleke,

The keyword for good looking pics in dark weather is RAW 8) With the
function fill light in lightroom you can win a lot of quality in your pic.

My camera is an EOS30D with a 100-400L IS USM lens, sow nothing
special if you see all those drain pipes next to the runway. The settings i
use is also a simple question, just look above each of my pics and you
see all the info per pic

I hope this is enough info for your question, if you want to know more
just give me a reaction :?:
Regards Alex van Noye,

@ Redskin; Thanks for the info so far !

Well, I run around with a Nikon D200 with a Sigma 50-500 DG-APO but in order to avoid moved exposures I need to use at least 400ISO with clear weather. I however don't use any advanced setting and still use the "P" presettings, so I guess that's where the trick is?
Do you use fixed shutterspeed, or aparture?

So far I only used either Shutter or Aperture, but not sure if this can be selected as priority ? Still, looking at your pics and their comments, shutterspeed nor aperture are constant on either jets or props/heli's?

This discussion however becomes more a topic for "het Praethuis" so perhaps it's better if you can reply by PM and get :ontopic: for here ?

Thanks so far anyway, guess I need to do some (a lot!) more experimenting
