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.

Nice photos! Too bad for me I don't like special paints, and the special paint on the A-7 is especially ugly in my opinion, but hey, it still is an A-7 :D 8)

Definately will visit Florennes this weekend!!

Best regards,

Stephan

VERY GOOD use of shutterspeed on IAC PC9, (do tell the readers here which setting you 've used).

Nice A7 paint job, out of the ordinary. wee bit dark but nice

PC-9 taken with 1/125 F11 ISO100

Notice the camouflaged droptanks on the A-7, a couple of black ones would have been better looking...

For the F-5 and Skyraider I made use of a polariser filter, which does a lot for colors, especially the sky.
