Air-to-air photography (original) (raw)
Air-to-air photography is the art of photographing aircraft in the air, by using another aircraft as a photo platform. It is especially popular among military aircraft photographers and aerobatic pilots flying at air shows. Air-to-air photography requires special skills and experience, as the photo platform and target aircraft often fly low level while under moderate to high G-forces. Looking through his camera, the photographer usually sits looking sideways while the aircraft manoeuvres through the sky, often resulting in airsickness and making air-to-air photography even more challenging.

| dbo:abstract | Air-to-air photography is the art of photographing aircraft in the air, by using another aircraft as a photo platform. It is especially popular among military aircraft photographers and aerobatic pilots flying at air shows. Air-to-air photography requires special skills and experience, as the photo platform and target aircraft often fly low level while under moderate to high G-forces. Looking through his camera, the photographer usually sits looking sideways while the aircraft manoeuvres through the sky, often resulting in airsickness and making air-to-air photography even more challenging. The subject aircraft is photographed while both aircraft are in flight. This allows the photographer to position the subject in specific locations and angles to get the most desirable shot. Some things that must be considered to achieve best results are lighting and background. Proper lighting is achieved through correct placement of the aircraft relative to the sun, and is accomplished flying only at certain times of the day and/or by flying at a heading that lines the sun up on the subject aircraft properly. The background can highlight or distract from the subject and must be carefully considered when taking shots. Air-to-air photography can be used for a variety of purposes, including commercial use and advertising. During World War II, air-to-air photographs were used in training members of the armed forces in aircraft recognition in publications such as the British journal Aircraft Recognition. Notable air-to-air photographers include Mariusz Adamski and Katsuhiko Tokunaga. (en) Air-to-airfotografie is de kunst van het fotograferen van vliegtuigen in de lucht vanuit een ander vliegtuig. Het is in het bijzonder populair onder militaire luchtvaartfotografen en kunstvliegpiloten op vliegshows. Air-to-airfotografie vereist speciale vaardigheden en ervaring, aangezien de fotograaf vaak onder invloed van g-krachten zijn werk moet doen. Vliegveiligheid is altijd het belangrijkste aspect bij de uitvoering van een fotovlucht. Een goede voorbereiding en communicatie tijdens de vlucht zijn daarom cruciaal en piloten moeten altijd gekwalificeerd zijn om in formatie te vliegen. Deze vorm van fotografie wordt gebruikt voor diverse doeleinden, waaronder fotojournalistiek, commercieel gebruik en advertenties. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd air-to-airfotografie gebruikt om strijdkrachten te trainen in vliegtuigherkenning. De Japanse fotograaf heeft air-to-airfotografie bekendheid gegeven. Sinds 1978 heeft hij naar eigen zeggen zo'n 2.000 uur in straaljagers gevlogen en meer dan 15.000 uur in andere vliegtuigen. Opmerkelijk is het grote aantal Nederlandse fotografen dat op het gebied van air-to-airfotografie actief is. Voor de meesten is dit een deeltijdbaan, aangezien de kosten die gemaakt worden voor een fotovlucht niet opwegen tegen de opbrengsten. (nl) |
