Forum rules
This 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.
Dear friends! I would like to post some pictures to share with you for the first time. My equipment is not as professional as of the most members of this forum, but I hope you like it as well. I have a Canon 1000D with an Sigma 70-300mm objective.
If you like to see more, visit my homepage: http://www.luftfahrt-photographie-ruether.de , soon in english!
No professional gear but the pictures look great!
Only the first one has a bad background but hey, it's a Hornet and... it's a Tiger!
Good shots Markus and welcome aboard.
It's not the gear that makes you a good photographer.
You are the proof that you can make awesome pictures without spending thousands of euro's on camera's en lenses.
Nice work.
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.

nice pictures. We went to Meiringen on 28 and 29 april and security chased us away and said we could only take pictures from the visitors terras and the spottersplace near the runway, no other spots. Security was very tight and not friendly. First time for me that I had troubles with security at Switserland. Did you had the same problem?
I have been at Meiringen one year before. It is right that the security is much stronger than the year before. I think they have big trouble with the agriculars around the base. So, you must be a little bit careful to go into the fields! I tried to speak as much as I could with the people there and asked for to take a picture from a special point - and than it was no problem. Good luck for you !

I don't know where you stood exactly or what you have done while the security is chasing you away. Usually they are very friendly and don't chase spotters away. When a repetition course is taking place the security is more tight. Anyway the fence will come in summer and is about 1.50 meters height.
You have an eye for good photography, and in my opinion that's the most important thing. You can always buy professional equipment, but that wont automatically make you a great photographer. Id say you're well on your way to becoming a great photographer though, I really like your pictures, they might benefit from some editing, but the images themselves are very good
Are these pictures taken at Meiringen? i will go there in about two weeks from now......
