Ok, we all have some pics in the DB and this is just a big goal itslef for most of us. But which is your next challenge in aviation photography ? A cockpit shot ? A shot made with the "panning" tecnique ? A night shot ?
Regards

Well my next step is in photography as a whole. Well its an idea. Its to build a good portfolio for myself and produce my own website. But heck, I don't have much of a clue how to do either

I ve got different things on my radar for the next time. Some are places I want to visit, some are different style of photography.
Places:
a) AYT during summer, the IL86 headquarter of the World. (Pretty challenging as Avphotography is not so popular in turkey ...)
b) Machynlleth Loop area.
c) INN and SZG this winterseason.
Technic:
a) A2G photography at a place like LAX or so.
b) A decent long exposure nightshot of an aircraft taking off on the 32 or 34 @ ZRH.

My goal is to stick to not smoking... I've quit 3 1/2 weeks ago.
What this has to do with aviation photography: the money saved is going straight into my new camera fund.
Also, it may prevent me from burning my arm again while holding the camera in front of my face with a burning fag hanging out of the corner of my mouth.
I'm an aviation expert. I have Sky Juice for breakfast.

I would like to be able to make high quality and interesting photos at bad weather conditions such as rain, dust fog and grey sky. These are the weather conditions at my home area for the most time so I try and try and try....

I'm aiming to get more artisitic (That, for myself and not aimed at Airliners.net). Shots I have in mind are those at sunset, and paticulary sunrise with low fog/mist.
I'm wanting to get far more interesting and more 'wow' shots, so thats my aim for Winter 2006/2007. Weather I get frozen or not, I won't care as long as I get some results that *I'm* pleased with.

Equipment:
Zuiko Digital 50-200mm f2.8-3.5
Zuiko Digital 1.4x converter
The above combination will give me a lens that is a 140-560, adding 260mm to my present maximum.
Shots:
I really want to go spotting at EWR to get some widebodies. I don't get to go often, and here at ABE there's rarely anything really interesting, unless US sends a special-scheme aircraft, or if there's a diversion.
I usually borrow a DSLR from my girlfriend´s brother, so next time I get it I want to try some sunset shots in AEP (a very humble goal, but it´s a good start).
Cheers!

Quoting Ander (Reply 13): David,
let me suggest you use a good and sturdy tripod if you want to get that slow.
Tripod for 1/30th?! No way! Handheld is more challenging and ultimately more rewarding when you get nice results! I would only consider use of a tripod below 1/10th...

For me, a top of the day shot - Only ever been as high as 3.
But more importantly I'd love to have the opportunity of doing some Air 2 Air of something like a 737 or bigger of course. I've done heaps of small aircraft but would like to try something bigger and faster.

If you are only looking for a challenge, then it's ok.
If you're looking to get a good shot, then you better use agood tripod.
Other than that it is a matter of luck.

Tripod heads can, I know, but I haven't been lucky with a tripod (the head is fixed), and its head is a bad one. When using the 70-200 f/4L with the tripod mount ring, the handle has to be faced forward to be able to put the camera on with the grip. It's a real pain in the neck to remove the E1 and grip only to get the handle in the back. I guess I'll be panning on little higher speed in hotter weather, shaky hands is a no-no when panning, IMO, and probably IOO too.

I asume you are not talking static. What does the tripod give u? A more "stabalized" vertical movement .... , so what? I fyou look for panning - get rid of the 1 or 3 -pod ... , it does NOT help you.

Yes, of course. And it will also get rid of some inevitable shake of your hands.
And it will let you shoot much longer. I've done a few panning sessions and after a while a long lens will droop unless you have big arms.
