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.

25th of March Athens [Greek war independence 1821 ann]

Post by StMaartenpiloot »

Hi all,
For the moment I am posting three images taken from a Piraeus rooftop of some helicopters that flew their lap from the parlement building in Athens over Piraeus and back. In Athens there was the militairy parade, the jets however had to take a huge lap over the sea and my 200mm could not cover that. :?


Since it is my holiday I had no chance to work on them with photoshop. When I get home I'll work on them and add them here.

I was fortunate enough to view the flypast from Mt Lycabettus.

Hope you don't mind me adding to your thread

Thank you Mr Moderator! All were cropped ( some more than others!!) First outing for the Bigma and I probably havent done it justice. The jets were shot at around 240- 300 mm as I was trying to get the whole of the formations, helos were around 420-450 ( find that 500 is tricky to control just now).

If I can put ac ouple more of the presentable ones.

Some additions to my photos, not great quality because of two reasons:
1. the helicopters where against the sun)
2. Too far away for the 200mm (so some cropping)
