RE: How Much "aircraft" Do We Need In A Photo?

Ok. Thank you very much for the prompt reply. So basically nothing has changed. Not that I'm thinking on re-uploading it. I am more interested to know what to do in terms of photography in the future and if somewhere in the past something had changed. Best regards <img src="http://cdn-www.airl...

How Much "aircraft" Do We Need In A Photo?

Greetings everybody. I've been uploading more or less regularly in the past 8 (almost 9) years and I've been following the changes during that period on the photo acceptance criteria, but I have to be honest, I don't follow the aviation forum everyday, so I might be asking something that already got...

Hi. Once again thank you very much the help and for the links. Hey Peter, you have some fantastic photos there. I guess I'll make a visit to the parking lot if weather cooperates. My interest in knowing if indoors some photos could be done is simply because I'm going there in December which is great...

RE: Photography At Domodedovo, Moscow

Hi. Thanks Szabó for the input. Most appreciated indeed. Most likely I'll stay indoors and look for a window. Some airports have great views, but awful conditions to make photos because windows are curved and distant therefore creating reflections, but if you mentioned that something can be done, I ...

RE: Which One Should I Choose? LGA Or JFK?

Thanks a lot for the feedback. What I normally use for aviation photography is a 18-200 or a 100-400 depending of the situations and the airport so I think I am fine with that (I think so...hmmm).

Hi Karl. Been there on the 26th March last year on that spot and had no problems, but weather was humid and that helped a lot.
