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.

Up close and personal. I have a whole batch of pictures with you in the foreground somehow. :mrgreen: These are way better of course, I really like the ones with the whole background blurred by heatwaves, and the Mirage supersharp!

Thanks for being in the way standing 5 mtrs from the runway! Next time use a lager lens and look around you. You are not the only one in the world!

The runway Wittmund is 2440 meters long. How can a person (max) 0,7 meters wide be a gigantic problem?

It is true I was there as well and he did not remain at the car but went exactly in front of us.
That German heard us though so he must have heard it too but doesn't payed any attention!
