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.

I think that grey scheme on the Cougar doesn't look to bad here under these circumstances, or is it just me?! :mrgreen:

Anyway, lovely shots under perfect circumstances!!! Me like them very much!! :-E: :worship:

:drinking: Nice photos indeed!!!
A pitty I miss this... ... But these are great shots!
Are Joost's pics a bit noisy, over sharpened maybe? Or maybe not?

Show me more!

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.

Great pictures guys! Too bad our group wasn't allowed to cross over to the first landing zone by the field supervisor after we had chosen the pickup zone of the slingload. We therefore missed the most spectacular part... 2 laptop edited pics for now:

Hi...

Really great shots of active performance during an exercise!!!!
Does one need permission to be at the location and take pictures during exercises like these?
I would like to be there too, when it happens again.
If yes, where can I get a permission to be there?

Grtz.

It is a public area, you don't need permission. Just make sure you read the rules when entering, don't get too close to the helicopters and ground troops or you will disturb their exercise. You never know where they are gonna land (i.e. in case of emergency) so if you stay close to the trees you are pretty 'safe'.
