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.

My first full year of spotting. It was addictive sometimes, even with simple gear I have ( EOS 1000D & 55-250mm ). It was not always funny, due to "comment" about too much KLM or too much B747 or things like that. A discussion leading from nothing to nowhere ! Lets just respect each other and help each other getting better. Let's be a bit more constructive in our criticism, because not everybody can spend a € 1500 on a body and € 1500 on a lense......Let's have FUN and ENJOY what we are doing !!

A big amen to that mattie, let´s not forget, it´s a hobby in the first place, and we all share this same passion and it´s supposed to be fun. Constructive critics and comments are very welcome, and we can learn a lot from each other. But let´s respect each others meanings and taste.....

You made some good progress buddy! :respect:

@ pienie: that Mirage 2000 shot rocks! You can almost smell the kerosine fumes and feel the heat..

unfortunately, I hardly had time to spend on the hobby this year. Just a few nice warbird events to attend. Duxford flying Legends was a first for me. Really enjoyed it!
