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.

Paris - Salon du Bourget

Post by KoenHartkamp »

hi all,

after my business-trip to the Salon du Bourget, I managed to squeeze in an additional day to enjoy the action
As you'll probably know, photography is difficult as the display line is quite far away. Most flying display shots were taken with a D300 + 200-400mm + 1.7xTC

thanks for the nice comments :)

@Maurits: who knows where the Eurocopter and C-130 photo end up, it's my core business :wink:

@ Tomba: you're right about the noise. Shooting with 600mm still required some major cropping, I guess that ain't good for noise control :lol:
