Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Les Invalides - Bastille Day 14/07/2014

Post by Bruno »

As previous year, last monday I was at les Invalides, to take some pictures about helicopters departure.
I was very lucky with the weather, at 7pm the light was so sweet an the sun was there eventually. Sadly this year there aren't any Marine helo's :?

Nice pictures !

We witnessed how the Marine NH90 made several un succesfull attempts to start up at the heliport
so it probably broke down.

Bruno, absolutely beautiful pictures with very nice light on the helicopters.
Can you please tell us (maybe a coordinate?) where you have been standing when you took these pictures and how many mm you needed?.

Thank you.

All these pics were taken with a 70-200 lense (FF camera).
You will find the place on the picture below. The exact location is: 48°51'45.37"N, 2°18'43.26"E

Bruno,
thank you for your replay. I especially didn't expected a 70-200 on a full frame. But very good to hear that photo opportunities are that good!!
Ciao
