So there i was, browsing through Network Aviation's website and checking out their fleet, when i noticed how dull their photos looked. So i dug out a couple of mine and sent them off. I said how i enjoy their aircraft and if they would like this photo of their Fokker F-100 Vh-NHO for use on their website...

Well i got a reply back saying that not only do they want it on the website when it gets upgraded soon, but they want to use the image for other things as well. So yeah i'm pretty excited.

Here's the photo below. It's been resized and the compression took a little bit of a toll, but yeah all comments and critiscism will be greatly appreciated

Go Do that VooDOo that You Do So Well!&&&&

Nice one Glenn. Did they mention anything about payment?

Not yet. The operations manager asked for the full size photo, and when i email him, i'll speak to him about options for payment..Honestly i'd be happy with some jumpseat time or access to the tarmac to take some more photos

Be sure to mention that you could get some superb shots from the jumpseat... Wink

Good luck!

Just one note of criticism, it seems to be a tad un-leveled. I'd say one degree to the left and you'll be golden.

Great shot by the way!

I'd talk to them about payment BEFORE you send them the photo, just in case Wink

Really exciting though!! Its an excellent shot. Cool

Just thought I would add, one thing is to not cut off parts of the aircraft in the photo. What I mean is it looks as though the wings have been clipped. Not a big deal, especially since the company already wants the photo, but I think it would make it better. Grin

Congrats! And great shot too, very clear and nice angle, be better if the light were hitting the plane from a better angle, but you can't force mother nature to move the sun for you Wink

There seems to be a phobia here with missing wing tips. Once upon a time there was an Englishman, James Gilbert, working for Flying magazine. He took some of the best air to air and air to ground shots ever - missing wing tips and all. Just have faith that they're there

+1.....nothing wrong with cutting bits off as long as it's well composed and centred....looks good to me in this case....shame about the sun though but there are some things we can't control Tongue
