Re: Beste instellingen sony A330 opendagen KLU

Of ga eens een dagje langs de baan van Schiphol of een vliegbasis staan en probeer daar eens wat instellingen. Dan weet je je do's en don'ts van de camera en kom je goed voorbereid op de vliegshow. Yep, dat is goed advies. Als je inderdaad eens begint met de instellingen die je hier genoemd worden ...

Re: Which IS mode to use on a Canon 100-400?

I don't want to sound ignorant, but why is it bad that the mode 1 tries to stabilize both axis? A gyro will try to stabilise against your intentional panning movement. So, it is useless to do that and if it wasn't harmful, no problem would arise. The issue is that the gyro will most probably cause ...

Re: Which IS mode to use on a Canon 100-400?

Using Mode 1 (stabilizing both axes) half the gyros are constantly trying to cope with the panning movement. As the lenses inside are connected to the gyros inexplicable blur can take place. As such: Mode 2 is the one and only mode to use for fast moving objects. Thanks for the input guys! I don't ...

Which IS mode to use on a Canon 100-400?

I have a Canon 100-400 lens on a 30D body. Until now, I have always left my lens in Mode 2, where it stabilizes both X and Y direction. The other mode is supposed to be for panning motions. I have always left it in the both direction mode as I figured 2 directions is better than one...... Am I corre...

Re: Frisian Flag 2010

We doen op EHLW niet aan non flying days tijdens een oefening, zonde van de tijd. Men begint zelfs al een dag eerder dan normaal te vliegen namelijk op de 12e. Alleen het weer zou een spelbreker kunnen zijn. Ik heb wel iets gehoord over eerder stoppen op donderdagmiddag vanwege een feestje. Ik wach...

Wittmundhafen 25/08/2009

My first visit to Wittmundhafen last Tuesday. The weather wasn't great with some rain and overcast skies. A heavy thunderstorm at the end of the day forced some F-4F's ready for take-off, back to their HAS. http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac237/henk99/Wittmund_20090825/Wittmund-1.jpg http://i903....

Geert,

09-27 is only used in cases when 06-24 is not usable due to reconstruction work or similar reasons.

Hans.
Thanks Hans, that's what I wanted to know. This means I only have to choose between two locations next week 8)

Where to go? Newbie to EHLW spotting

I hope my question is allowed here on this sub-forum :oops: I am planning to go to Leeuwarden next week (either 25 or 26th). Seeing the layout of the airfield I am a bit unsure where I should go with what wind direction. The thing is that I would like to drive to the right place right away, so I don...

Re: RIAT at RAF Fairford 18-19 July 2009 Participants

Hi, I'm planning to go to the RIAT this year (first time). When checking the participants list, I noticed that there aren't any US aircraft used for flying, only for static. Is there a reason for this or do these participants still need to be confirmed? I have no idea how long the updating of the pa...
