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.

Hi Pascal,

the settings I used for the nightshots are almost the same for all pictures. There are only differences in the exposure time and the aperture value.
Here are for example the settings for picture 9:

ISO-100
f/5,6
5s
160 mm
Tripod
Cable release

If you have more questions or if you need more information feel free to ask...

I guess that means the Turkish 737 was standing still? (it is a bit out off the ordinary shot: I like it!)

Yes, you are right. The whole convoy stood still awaiting permission to cross the runway.

Good evening everybody,

Image
here is another picture I took yesterday night. This time we had a C-17A visiting us. I was lucky to catch it in time because it left a few minutes later.
I like the illuminated cockpit very much...what do you think?

Regards

Gerald

Amazing, just with these simple settings and a tripod you managed to get these pics???
:shock:

Checked out your website.

Your ELITE 2007 and AXALP pictures are breathtaking!!! You can actually see the 20mm bullets from the F-5´s flying trough the air. Unbelievable

Nice piece about the sensor cleaning, very helpfull.

Danke dafür :wink:
