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.

Hi there,

Nice to see such visitors at Volkel. Your F-16 shot is very very nice!! The rest is a bit off color.. The C-17's are a bit dark and the mirages are a bit blue/green, thats all.. maybe you can run them through Photoshop.. Again, the F-16 is a very good shot, nice lighting!

Greets,
Groet,

Thanks for the comments guys. As I was on the west side of Vkl. There was backlight almost the whole time, except when a/c turning on the runway.
I took the C-17 through Lightroom to make it more light and reuploaded them in the first post.
As an extra I threw in another F-16 here.

Ok, looks better but still has a sort of haze over it.. The F-16 shots are way better, probably closer? Your 1st F-16 shot is still the best. The second has a nice background to it.

no they were all taken from the same spotterscorner east side, but I suppose the backlight conditions from the low sun directly at the came make it difficult to get a good balance.
The C-17 came from the parallel backtracking.

Maybe because there _were_ actually hazy conditions present? ;-) It was rather misty this morning..
