I feel the discussion deserves a dedicated topic, so I am promoting it out of "Our plans and trips to military museums"!
As Michel said, Walter very kindly picked me up at the train station and drove me to Overloon, Michel joined us there.
The weather was okay and there was no traffic jam on a critical bridge. But that's expected, because I am a lucky guy
First thing I discovered, Michel is bigger than me
Walter instead has longer hairs
Overloon's Museum is even better than I expected. Looking at the AFVs list and the pictures online, I didn't realized there were so many cool softskins. The heavy trucks, trailers and engineering vehicles are worth the visit alone.
There were also a few interesting vehicles from private collectors, on temp loan to the Museum (more details once I'll have the pics ready).
Typically in such a place I would shot 2000+ pictures within a single day (I guess that qualify as a compulsive disorder), but I had so much fun chatting with the other two Amigos, that I took less than 1000

- He didn't use all the camera's he took along (he used only 2 out of 3 .. or did he bring 4 );
I only had 3 cameras. I took an extra DSLR as a spare and to have Walter use it. But he prefer to not take any picture
- Michel_Krauss
- His camera on a pole system works very well
Nothing new, I just took inspiration from other people here and I assembled a solution with commercially available equipment.
I am glad both you and Walter like it, it's an interesting tool and gives a new perspective.

- I learned a lot about operating my camera
You are moving in the right direction. Still you better take more control of your camera. It's a good one, but modern cameras pretends they are smarter than humans... That's not the case

To be short:
We had a very good and enjoyful day
Yes, it was great to meet both of you in person. I had a great day
We should do similar things more often
