The picture below was taken over northern Holland from the back of Invicta Aviation's Shorts Skyvan (G-BEOL) while the L-39 was enroute from Groningen to Gilze-Rijen for the 2010 Luchtmacht Dagen.

Thanks to Eric Coeckelberghs and his Photo Crew for organising the photoshoot.

All comments welcome.


Regards,

Frank.

Thanks Paul!  :airforce_cheesy:

I have to say, and I'm not blowing my own trumpet here, this is one of the best pictures I've ever taken (IMHO), I was delighted when I saw it on the PC once I got home.

This is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the air to air pictures I took a few weeks back, I'm still waiting on permission to post pictures of A-4 Skyhawks, F-4 Phantoms, Dutch F-16's, a Hawker Hunter & a Dutch Dornier 228 Coastguard aircraft.

To give you an idea of what I have waiting in the wings, check out these links...

Shamrock145:
Really lovely picture Frank!

Just out of curiosity, what kit did you use and did you have long to "set it up"?

...145

Frank:
I had 2 cameras quite literally strapped to me. I had 2 x EOS 40D's, one with a 24-105mm lens and the other with a 70-200mm lens. The shot above was taken at 47mm zoom plus the 1.5 crop factor of the lens making it equivalent to 75mm on a 35mm film camera.

What do you mean exactly by set it up? If you mean setting up the photo shoot, I didn't set up. Someone else did the organising and I just flew in the Skyvan.
