Good shooting Keiner!

**Larrymc** · 07-17-2017, 05:27 AM

I second Steve's opinion, Great shooting Keiner. BTW, what equipment did you use?

**aslyfox** · 07-17-2017, 05:34 AM

question

I live near a Air National Guard air field where Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker [ (KC-135R) ]are based and other military planes and helicopters will come in as well

does anyone know of any restrictions I should be aware of before I start taking photos of such aircraft?

They often fly right over my property but unfortunately the view I get is as they fly directly away from me, no side or frontal views possible

I really don't want a visit from anyone about any attempts to photograph military planes

Wright B Flyer replica.

Don't know what this one is. From the same Tatoo as my previous posts. This is not a B/W image. The grey Ohio sky matched the plane color very nicely.

Taking pictures of the base could be an issue, especially if the exterior fences have "No Photography Allowed" signs posted. In these days of terrorist incidents, it's better to avoid pictures of the base. Taking pictures of aircraft flying overhead is not an issue. I grew up a mile and a half from Grumman Aerospace Corp. in Bethpage, NY and we were able to take pictures of all of the military aircraft flying overhead as they took off and landed at the plant. While out in Palmdale, CA, I took pictures of a B-2 on final approach to the field as it flew overhead, while I was picking up pizzas. In essence, it's treated no differently than taking pictures of military aircraft flying overhead during an airshow.

Thank you! The equipment was K3 II and the DA* 60-250. A dream team. The light was on the noses, that makes it difficult to choose the side along the path (besides the difficulties to get that close on that summit)
EXIF for AF1 ISO 400, f 7.1 80mm.
And a little Photoshop of 2003

In addition: this tool is very helpful to see where the sun & light will be. Useabale everywhere:
