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.

Nice planes! I really need to be going to LHR soon!

You had challenging lightconditions I see. I think you didn't edit the pictures before uploading? To bad as the colors have a strange orange glow to me. I took the liberty to take two shots trough Photoshop:

Image

Image

Light still isn't good, but you can't fix the exposure that much anymore. However, the colors do look more natural this way!

Anyway, thanks for sharing your pictures! I really like the last one, you can feel the speed!

Cheers! :wave:

Think the shots of you are rather blue.... My shots were taken with the conditions we had that day, sun was still a little low and partly cloudy. That's why the colours are like that.
