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.

Dubai by night

Post by S&B extra »

After replacing my "snapshot" camara with a new model (Sony DSC-T700) I decided to get a tri-pod as well. While at "work" the same night I decided to put the new combination to work with these results:

Lovely with airside snaps from DXB. I used to work there with DNATA for three years. I snuck in a compact to take a few pics but theres so much police around airside.

Do you work in DXB? Looks like all your pics are from T2 stands - what a place. Remember up to 15 IL76 there some nights. How did you manage the photography?

Nice goin', mate! Like Egon, I'm curious about your dealing with security. Stealth mode? ;)

the pics are airside indeed on the E ramp and just lessay I took a chance with the security forces... (and was confident that I would be able to talk my way out of trouble)

I counted about seven IL-76s...

Be carefull mate. Things may have changed but when I was there a certain Mr. Chris Doggett had his equipment taken off him when he was discovered taking pics. He even had a permit (it was expired though - but in arabic) he tried to talk himself out of trouble but they wouldnt hear of it.
I think he eventually did get his kit back though.
When I worked there the airport police station was down towards by the firestation and they constantly drove past the new FBO areas.

I had the "pleasure" of being arrested twice in the UAE for doing planespotting land-side. Once in FJR and once in DXB. They were not too bad really but they do not like spotters for sure.

Just a heads up :D

In saying all the above I would love to see more :shock:

Take it easy mate,
