Forum rules
This 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. |

Wittmund Spottersday 30 July 2008 50 Years F-4 Phantom
A great day, a bit harsh light, and shooting the flightwave against the sun, but well organized by the Germans. Hey we know 450 people don't fit in 5 buses.
Here my first selection of pics, comments are welcome, and I am sure there are loooooads more.

Some pictures taken from the other side of the runway that day:
1. WTD61 Phantom during its 'sneaky' takeoff and therefore caught most of us by surprise.
2. Of course the 'ordinary' grey F-4s taking off.
3. And the 38+58 again, leaving some rubber on the runway
4. A-4s
5. For a relative small jet they make a lot of noise

Spotterday Wittmund 30 July
Nice event, did not stay long on base because of the bad light for flight ops. Felt like going back in time with al those Phantoms and Skyhawks.
Here are some of my shots, hope you enjoy them

And some from me from my first ever spottersday visit. And it was a great one for me. Thank you JG-71!
Only static though, as I am not satisfied with the quality of the flying ones

Great try on the HDR images Bert! Besides the bit fainty look they come out okej (maybe some different tone mapping?). The airplanes are missing a bit of contrast or is that just my screen??

I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.
