Rafale in HDR


Just to try something different for a change, I processed this picture of a banking Aronavale Rafale with HDR-software. High dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods. This wide dynamic range allows HDR images to represent more accurately the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, ranging from direct sunlight to faint starlight, and is often captured by way of a plurality of differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter (source: Wikipedia).

Scans of pictures from the 90′s

In the 90′s we used to travel to former East Germany whenever a Russian regiment was to be retired from it’s base, back to storage fields in Russia. Also we went to the Ukraine to take pictures of aircraft that were rare in Western Europe. Below are a few scans of pictures made in those days. Stay tuned for more!

Op vrijdag 16 september 2011 was ik aanwezig op de Luchtmachtdagen op de vliegbasis Leeuwarden. We werden getrakteerd op prachtig weer en zo mogelijk nog mooiere vliegtuigen zodat het een memorabele dag werd.

Warbird Fly in Lelystad

Op 20 augustus 2011 was ik in de gelegenheid om op vliegveld Lelystad bij het Aviodrome de zogenaamde vintage fly-in te fotograferen. Helaas vile de opkomst van vliegtuigen een beetje tegen, maar wat er was, kon wel mooi worden vastgelegd.
Zie hieronder het resultaat.

Marseille-Marignane

Whenever I’m on holiday, even with the family, I try to find the time to check out some nearby airfield. This year we were in France, not to far away from Marseille. So a perfect opportunity to re-visit Marignane airfield with the Euocopter factories and the based Securité Civile aircraft.
