Hello,

I am glad most of the folks enjoyed the pictures.

As for the questions about setting and techniques; around ISO640 and shutter above 1000 all in manual. Just aim your camera at the moon and shoot a few test shots to match the result you like to most.

I found that in making these. The positioning part was the toughest thing to do. It's all about knowing wich way they are flying, taking off, recovering and a very big dose of luck. Landings with the moon in the back are more easy. However this was a hole different ballgame as they were flying Rwy06. I saw a few opportunities around the airfield and chose for this one. In the end it's all about standing a few meters left or right to make a hit.
