Delft. Netherlands Army Museum
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Shot RAW+JPEG, then if you have a shot you like or think it can be improved, send me the RAW file and I'll see if I can improve it with postprocessing.

No problem, it will at least be 3 weeks untill my holiday so time enough to practice some more

Your Canon 600D uses the same sensor as 7D, a camera I know pretty well. You can push it safely up to ISO 1600/2000, over that value pictures start getting noisy. With your stabilized lens you should be able to shoot at 1/20 of a second, maybe even up to 1/10 (depending on how steady you are).

In order to do that you have to use TV or P mode, stay away from the "full auto" modes.
Again, for such extreme conditions, you better use RAW.

Excellent pics Massimo! Glad you like the place, I work there! The oldest building dates from 1602, the extension that houses the vehicles was built in 1692. The museum owns many more vehicles that are in storage now, but most should be on display in the new museum. The vehicles outside are accesible for children to play on & in. David

Isn't that a prototype PRTL? The tracking radar is different than on the ''operational'' vehicles.

All I can say is that the radome looks different than the one in Overloon. Massimo
