CanonFreak,

I think I'll keep the 1D, but if ever I change my mind I'll keep you informed.

If I should mention it all the list would be to large, however herewith a selection of the most important while on report : Digital : Canon EOS 1D / Canon EOS 1Ds / Canon Ixus 400 Analogue : Canon EOS 1 Lenses - All Canon Fisheye 15mm f2.8 Zoom 17-35mm L f2.8 Zoom 28-135 IS f3.5 Zoom 100-400mm IS L ...

L-1011, Why not making a competition to guess the age of Comet and VC-10. The winners will have free drinks -payed by the losers- at the "Spottersmeet" in September, and if you say there will be "Sloeber" available too, than Comet will participate as well .... and than we just ha...

We "The older guys" are not old, only experienced. :
and we're putting the average age to a more acceptable and higher level.

I think this is a bit a similar topic as the "Let me introduce myself" topic earlier, and in which I told already everything about my job. However, here one more time some information about what I'm doing. I was for almost 38 years in Belgian Air Force, first with an air traffic control jo...

Born on October 17th 1946 !!!

So I'm 57 but I still feel like 25, especially when flying in aircraft of the same age or older

Fuji-Monster, I don't say that I don't publish photo's. I'm working for some magazines, and the aviation business. And to protect my rights as photographer it's always nice to know that in case off.... you have some people behind you who will take care about this for you and prevent you of being f :...

CanonFreak,

Normaly you only can be member of one organization.

I'm member of SOFAM and to become member you have to pay a one time contribution of 123,95 €

You can find all the info on www.sofam.be and if you have some questions you always can send me a mail.

As I wrote in a previous topic about copyrights, the best thing you can do is protect yourself and your work via SOFAM or SABAM. Once you are member, they take care about your rights, and have lawyers to defend you against companies who think "the world belongs to everybody" And if we talk...

Michael, Those scanners are as well for slides as negatives. Once the insert the slide or negative, the scanner "see" if it's a slide or a negative and convert the negative to the right colors. So you see your negative immediate in the exact colors, which makes it very easy to make eventua...

Michael, If you realy want to have good quality of your negative- or slides scans, you have to chose for a good film scanner. Canon, Nikon and Minolta have some real good ones, but these are "Semi" professional scanners that costs at least 1.200 euro and more. In my "early digital per...

Dear Thomas Cook, Is kiezen voor een Hollandse partner, met Hollandse cockpit en cabin crew de manier om de Belgische luchtvaart sector er weer boven op te helpen ???? Genoeg B-767 ervaring aanwezig in Belgie dacht ik. Normaly I respect the rules to use the English language, but if TC want to expres...

Bart, I think this is one of the risks you take while putting your pictures on "Airlines.net". Every one can "use" or better steal your pictures, and if they are lucky, you never find out. Best thing you can do is protect your self against every illegal use of your works, picture...

Chris, The picture is taken by one of the Thunderbirds groundcrew standing on the control tower. Due to the large telelens the picture give a little optical illusion as the A/C is coming right to the photographer. However I can imagine that it must have been frightning to see that A/C coming your wa...

Fons, Photographic, this is a very bad picture. One of the essencial rules of pictures of flying propeller aircraft is : Always have movements into the propellers. This isn't always that easy because of the low shutter speeds you have to use, and the vibration of your aircraft during air to air phot...

Thanks a lot for the interesting information.

Terenia, The camera probalby didn't survive. During displays of the Thunderbirds, the groundground crew has six movie screens from inside the cockpit of every of the six F-16's, recording every movement of the pilots. So this is the movie from inside the cockpit, recorded from the ground. The three ...

Hi Annie, Welcome in the "Luchtzak" family. Always nice to have members from all over the world. Your story about "being kidnapped" to the Mojave Desert and Edwards AFB sounds very particular. It's looks a bit like the Chuck Yeager history some 50 years ago. As I'm travelling as ...

Are there some members who has any experience with planespotting at Zurich (Kloten) ?
Every information about good places is always welcome.
