I was there too on Saturday and Sunday and although the "double" barrier, I think it's one of the only places in Belgium where you can get that close to the arriving and landing a/c. Futhermore with a little "recce" about the best places, it wasn't a problem at all to find out a ...

I voted, and.... for the good one..... Fabke

Through the years the list of Royals, sport and other celebrities that I met is too numerous to mention. So I just want to mention some who made it in the aviation world. General Chuck Yeager, the first man to fly faster than the speed of sound, General Paul Tibbets, pilot of the B-29 who dropped th...

Bart,

After a short time -yesterday evening till this morning- that everything went well again, it seems that the same problems are back.

After one day of calmness on this topic the discussion -that never had to start- start all over again. Chris was just asking some advice about his rejected pictures, and there was nothing wrong with that question, untill one administrator had to interfere. There is nothing wrong being as well "...

Fabke,

Done

Frederic, Don't take this too personal, and after this -as far as I'm concerned- I consider this discussion as closed, but don't be too sure about your answers on my remarks. With over 20 years in the journalism business I know a lot about copyrights matters. Let's hope for Airlines.net that the day...

In addition to my post earlier today in this topic I would like to add some more facts concerning Airlines.net to think about. Don't misunderstand me, I never submited any pictures, and I don't have the intention to do, so there is surely no reason why I should be pro or contra Airlines.net. Airline...

To become a good photographer one of the first things you have to learn is accepting good and bad critiques, and that doesn't count only for photographers. I don't have any problems with the reasons of accepting or rejecting pictures on Airlines.net. The selection criteria may even be more severe to...

Chris, Don't use a "too big" lens. She will give more chance on blured pictures because you won't be able to use a fast shutter speeds. :!: :!: Best way for some good results is taking a lot of pictures with different settings. (ASA - Speed - Aperature) And as you are working digital -a pi...

Chris, Won't be easy. I shoud advise to set the highest ASA setting, (800 or 1600 ASA) (will give unfortunately some "noise" & "grain" on the pictures) setting a large aperature (f4.5 -F 5.6) and try to get a kind of support by putting your elbows on your body. (not on a part...

Bottie,

I don't remember right now the price that I paid , but full price BTW included you may count on 2.200 €. If you're lucky you can find a shop where you can get a 10 to 15 % discount, however even then it's still expensive.

Bottie,

Without any doubt I shoud go for the Canon EF100-400/4,5-5,6 L IS USM.

Surely not the cheapest one but, what a pleasure to work with
I'm working for more than 3 years with that lens and she never disappointed me.

I guess that the resemblance with IATA is intentional

Of course André.

Dear friends & colleagues, Although a web site is never totally "completed", I think it's time to introduce you to the International Aviation Photography Agency website: www.iapa.be The International Aviation Photography Agency is available to all airline companies, business and privat...

Yes Bart, You have to find out with the provider or hosting services what's going on. Sometimes you have to wait so long before the pages are loaded that you would wait no longer and leave. Maybe it's because of the huge amount of visitors at the same time, and is Luchtzak becoming victime of his ow...

Fabke,

If nothing comes in between, I'll be there too as crew member.
Looking forward to meet you.

I was on that mission in December 1994 for the delivery of that Mirage to the Deblin Air Museum and made a report about that exchange for the former BAF magazine "Wings" The transport was not done by 3 but 2 C-130's. The first with the fuselage, the second with the wings. As during the fli...

I visit so many museums but among those who impressed me most are the US Navy museum in Pensacola, the Air & Space Museum in Washington and the recently opened Udvar-Hazy Museum at Dulles Airport Washington. However without any doubt my number 1 is The USAF museum at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayt...

Andries, Any special reason why you change from Canon to Nikon :?: In the very, very beginning I was working with Canon. Then, about 17 years ago I changed to Nikon, but 5 years ago I changed again from Nikon to Canon and untill now I didn't regret it. Maybe it's a natural behaviour to change someti...
