Behind The Lens

Location

When I was still living in The Netherlands my house was nearby a Military Airbase in the North. I was lucky that I knew some people overthere and they remembered me the day of the show. I could stay in the front line for "spotters". It was very bussy around me, but I could follow the Military aircrafts.

Time

And YESS, at 15:12 Hour it was finaly the time for the Italian Airforse to show their Art in the air. They call them Frecce Tricolore. They made some jumps and went up again and suddenly they sprayed 3 colors of smoke ( the colors of the Italian flag) and I have tryed to catch them by clicking and clicking and more clicking. I did not had a tripot, was even not needed, because they went so fast... At home I would see the results. This picture I took at 28 of June 2002.

Lighting

It was Summer and a good day to make pictures. No sun in my lens, even a bit cloudy.

Equipment

I used a very simple camera, a little Sony with no extras. I hardly made pictures in those days, only for selling items of my Antiquestore.

Inspiration

This was for me the moment that I could go to the Airbase and see airplanes from nearby. I even did not know what I could expect. It was an overwhelming moment when I took my first step so near to an airplane. Since that moment I was more interested in airplanes and making pictures.

Editing

The pictures is like I shoot it, no (post-)processing at all. In those years I did even not know what that word means.

In my camera bag

I use most of the times my Sony DSC-H300. In my camerabag I have very little bags with crums of humid-suckers and 4 AA-batteries. Little lenscleaners and nothing more. When I go out specialy to make pictures I take my tripot with me ( it is actually too heavy for me to carry with me) and sometimes I try to place my camera on a rail or a stone for stability.

Feedback

When you go to an airshow, try to be in time to stay in front of the airstrips. Sometimes lots of people ( and their children) are pushing and pushing. It can help when you are early that day and speak with some people and stay a bit around with them. Often they know more then you about the program and about airplanes. They will give you advise when there comes something special through the air in front of you. It means that I was lucky at that moment and felt comfortable to take pictures and more pictures. Shoot as much as you can on an Airbase, because the planes are going fast! At home you will see the results!
