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.

Nightshoot at Volkel Airbase 11 December

Post by Rene Klok »

This week the Royal Netherlands Air Force is busy with nightflying at Volkel Airbase. F-16's of 312 squadron and F-35's of 313 squadron take to the sky at darkness. On 11 December the KNVOL (Onze Luchtmacht) was invited to take pictures on base during these activities.
As this was only the third time that I took pictures when light was almost absent I must say that I found it really challenging to come up with reasonable results. About 85% of the pictures I took ended up in the waste basket of my pc. The pictures were taken between 18:00 and 20:00 hours CET.

There was also limited time to take pictures of the gateguards. Unfortunately my picture of the F-84 was not good enough.
To see a Starfighter under a sky full of stars seemed very fitting.

Hope you like the results.
Groeten, Regards,
René
