Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

ILA Berlin 2008

Post by Flanker27 »

Hi there, surprised as I am to be the first with shots of this event. Nice show, but the lighting terrible after 3-ish, and a lot of dust because of construction work.
So after a quick selection of some shots, enjoy, and of course comments are welcome. Will post some more later.

Nice selection! 6,8,9 are my favourites!
In my opinion all could use just a bit more constrast, but that's just me...
I should go to this ILA one time as well, yet it seems that for photos of the air display it is not so good...

I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.

Great shots and yes, I also like the B-1 shots, but I also like the colorscheme on the Slovakian Mig-29. Can we see some more pictures please?

Here some pictures from me. We went there on friday and we had some lovely weather. The German army showed its strength in an airpower demo and also the Indian army was present with their colorful aircraft. Very funny to hear was that the Patrouille de Suisse changed its demo because of the German airshow rules. Soon a more extended selection will be available on my website. Enjoy!

Excellent shots everyone. To bad I couldn't go this year. The front shot of that Hind is indeed great (covermaterial for scramble magazine?) :D
