and finally part 3...

again...
Image

Fokker 50 with the control tower of the Polderbaan at the background. because of the long distance from the Polderbaan to Schiphol centrum, they transformed a radar tower into this nice control tower. the distance to the closest treshold of the Polderbaan to the big tower at EHAM is around 4km!

'taxi into position and hold'...must sound familiar  :)

Dave


here some exif of that photo:
Tv( Shutter Speed )
    1/400
Av( Aperture Value )
    7.1
Metering Mode
    Evaluative
Exposure Compensation
    0
ISO Speed
    100
Lens
    75.0 - 300.0 mm
Focal Length
    300.0 mm

it was taken with my Canon EF75-400mm USM III lens without IS. with the cropfactor, the focal length was 480mm.

i dream every night about the EF100-400mm L lens but for now, that one is just too expensive and i'll do what i can with this one.

Nice Stuff!
Can you put a polarizing filter on it?
Or maybe you used one  ???
I have found for outdoor shots, this little filter really gives your outdoor shots a "punch"!  ;)

the filter can be one of the most important pieces of equiptment in your case. I found this out a few years back when i started with the SLR photography. If you dont have one get one, spend a little extra on a name brand one the higher the quality the better the results, obviously
