Pictures looks nice and quite sharp. Did you use any sharpening tools already? One minor problem I have with my 100-400 is that when using the push-pull zoom quite often sometimes dust settles on my Canon Eos20d sensor. There are no dustspots in your pictures so I think the Eos50D cleaning system wo...

Nice to hear that the U-03 is back in the air again for possible sale.
Will this sale include the entire Fokker 60 fleet or just the U-03 (and perhaps U-01)?

Blue Angels remove 2 members from duty!

According to several websites the Blue Angels removed 2 members from duty for having an inappropriate relationship. The relationship was between a man and a woman. As a result the last three shows will be flown with 5 instead of 6 Hornets. A hearing will be held and disciplinary actions could includ...

So it seems fitting that this Falcon ...

EHGR 29-10-08

Was vroeg klaar met werken dus tegen beter weten in toch nog even naar Gilze gereden.

Het was er echt heel erg.....stil met alleen een Alouette 3 (A-292), een KLPD Bo105 (PH-RPR) en twee kistjes van de Klu historische vlucht (PH-MLM en PH-LSK).... :zzzz:

Great pics! :thumb:

Was there as well last Thursday but only during the morning hours. It turns out that for nice pictures the afternoon is the better option with the sun almost right behind you.

Bought this lens a few months ago and used it (mounted on a 20D) for the first time at Spa Francorchamps during the Formula 1 weekend. Last week the first aircraft pictures were captured during a short visit to Gilze Rijen. Pictures were sharp at full range, even with poor light conditions. The push...

After several years i recently swapped my 2.8 Sigma 70-200mm with 2x Sigma converter for the (in)famous Canon 100-400mm IS. The Sigma 70-200 was and still is a great lens but when using the 2x converter results were quite often horrible with very soft and unsharp pictures. If you decide to use a con...
