we started the day at 09:30 at LGG, sadly only 2 movements...

good job!
keep up the good work!

What and how are you settings to create the "star effect" off the lights?
Special lens or high F.# setting?

Thanks NustyR and Dennis

and Dennis...

For the Atlas 747, Picture 66 I used the following:

F/16
Exposure 13 sec
ISO 100

and the Cargolux 747-400F... Picture 71

F/8
Exposure 3,2 sec
ISO 100

Hope this helps to awnser your question...

mainly I just put it on TV and adjusted the shutter time... that's the only thing I really did :lol:
since it was only my second time making night shots... so still a lot to learn about that..
kind regards,

Rutger Patterson

Great shots Rutger!
The nightshots worked out nicely, that's very good to see!

@ Dennis.
The higher the F-value in your photo, the more of this ''star effect'' will get in your photo. I believe F14 is the best setting for such effect.

Nice report mate! Little unfortunate with the weather in LUX but who cares if this 747-800F bird is already bright and shiny :mrgreen:
