Location
At the end of the 07R/25L runway of Brussels airport (Belgium). It is public domain so no worries with licenses etc. The only prob in this location is finding a parking space for the car.Time
I was waiting for this moment for 2 1/2 hours and was at the point of giving up for the third time. I needed a prop jet for this landing, not a turbo jet, but so far I was out of luck. A few minutes before 6pm on this February Sunday this DasH 800 showed up in front of my camera :-)Lighting
The intent was to make a silhouet with some more detail, but to have the whole series of ground beacon lights sharp, so I chose a f/22 aperture and a shutter speed of 1/200. These prop jet type planes don't make high speed at this phase of the landing anyway.Equipment
Nikon D700 and a 300mm f/4 fixed focal lense on a solid Manfrotto tripod.Inspiration
I find the whole world of aviation awesome. This was my third try on this spot.Editing
Simple post-processing using LR (sharpness/colour/lens correction/contrast)In my camera bag
D750/D700 as a back-up. I work a lot with my 50mm f/1.4 (my preferred) so most of the time in my bag. The 70-200mm f/2.8 VRII is very nice for portrait work. I am also in bird and wild life photography and started to use the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 VR (affordable, but requires good lighting conditions).Feedback
It is important switching the camera to shutter speed priority and choosing a speed of 1/250 or less so that you have a nice dynamic propellor blur. A speed higher than 1/250 makes the props frozen sharp as if the pilot already switched off the engines in the air during the landing ;-).
