Hello,

As you can see, my internet is back.

Triple made a little misstake. I wasn't at Gold lake, but at Goose Bay.

Goose Bay was really great. The base was public area (So is Gold Lake I believe) That means you can go on the base with your car. There or many opportunities to make nice pictures, but do not go inside the militairy areas!!! You can go al the way to the fence in the public area, so that musn't be a problem.

You can also make pictures in the militairy area, but only with the next conditions:

1.
Tell the guard you are from The Netherlands or Germany just to make photos of aircraft. The majority of the canadians never heard of plane spotting, so they are really proud when a European is coming all the way to Canada just to make pictures!

2.
Always ask the people there if you are allowed to make photos. 99% of the times they say OK!!!

3.
Always make sure that they can clearly see your camera. Then you will not get any questions about what you are doing.


PLEAS REMIND THAT THESE THINGS ARE MY PERSONEL EXPERIENCES!!!

Greetz, Rene

Thanks for the infos.
I spoke to the guys over there, and what he told me is that lenses are limited to 300mm. I wonder how they wonna control that all day long

We will spend 3 days at the base, so maybe it will result in some nice pics.
