In a nutshell, I hope these posts will not only help you to appreciate some of my Flickr photos, but will hopefully also assist you in becoming a better photographer yourself.

Now, let’s get started by reviewing some of my Flickr photos I uploaded in May 2017, shall we?

Airbus A340-642 – Lufthansa – D-AIHP – International Airspace – 2012 08 27 – Inflight – 01 – Copyright © 2012 Ivan Coninx

  • Subject: Lufthansa Airbus A340-642 D-AIHP
  • Location: International Airspace
  • Date & Time: August 27th 2012 – 12:37 LT
  • Equipment: Canon EOS 7D | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM | Lowepro Flipside 400 AW
  • Camera Settings: 400mm | 1/500s | f/8.0 | ISO100
  • Comments: This aircraft created a so-called rainbow contrail. Rainbow contrails are aerodynamic contrails instead of exhaust contrails. An aerodynamic contrail is formed by the reduction of air pressure as the air moves over the wing of an aircraft. As a result, the temperature of the air falls which causes small drops of water to condense and possibly even freeze. These drops increase in size as more and more water condenses on them. Eventually the different sized drops will affect different wavelengths of light, creating the rainbow effect.
