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.

Gilze-Rijen, KLuHV Air to Air

Post by Zipper »

Hi...

As a participent in the Royal Dutch Air Force Historical Flight, some days run different than planned.
I was invited to go on two trips of "Close Formation Flying", one flight with two Harvards and one with two Fokker S-11 Instructors.
Under nice weather conditions too!
I do not say "no" to invitations like that and, of course, I took my camera with me. This was my first "Air-to-Air" experience.
I used a Nikon D3 and a 24-70 mm 2.8 lens. Shutter speeds between 1/80 and 1/180. ISO 200.
Below you see six examples of what I did that day.
Military or civil??? In my opininion it doesn't matter.
It's the result that counts, ain't it???

WOW! Stunning shots! Did you take the pics through the canopy, or did you opened it? Some lovely shots! It's time the KNVOL publish a new book, love the A2A shots in the 25 year book. Your photos will fit nicely in between!

Yes, I did, but next time it's OK to open the canopy, the pilot said (so there WILL be a next time!!!).
Specially for the S-11 that will be better because of the round shape and thickness of the canopy. And that canopy had a lot of dirt spots on it.
On the picture below you can see all those spots, I had to remove a lot of them while editing the pictures in Nikon Capture NX2.
