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.

I also see this photo is taken with F/29 why such a high F ?
And which spot/rwy is this ?
Canon EOS 30D

Please ask me an easier question :D - I wanted to take the shots where the lights but also the plane is sharp. And I've tested a lot with my normal manual settings (F/8.0) and I've seen that only the lights were sharp but not the plane. So i decided my camera (Canon EOS 50D) should make the settings automatically. And the camera choose the F/29. As i said I've tested a lot but only the foreground was sharp. Maybe there is an easier way to get both things sharp...

And it was the spot at Runway 18C.

you only get a high depth of focus with a high lens opening value (is small lens opening)So f/29 is not so unusual
All times are local times!

Must disagree with that a little, f/29 is unusual. The theory is correct of course, but f/11 would probably have done the trick as well. Anyway, it worked, with a nice steady shot at 1/50 sec.!

To get the star effect on the lights, you have to use a higher Av value. I agree with Key, probably a bit lower would have done the trick as well... Still you managed to get it sharp bothway's..
