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.

Rrrrrreallll good pics Alex! :shock:

I love your Indian Dhruv shot and that white Agusta against the dark backdrop: great!
Also your pics of the Reds are very refreshing, not only because of the wet wheather :wink: but also the composition, ip the first one!
My compliments!

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 pics Alex, but I have a question;
How do you manage to take nice and good quality pics like the ones you show here, with weather situation like and with a shutter speed of only 1/100? Do you use a digital camera, what lenses, what settings, etc.?
