At 30-04-2010 I visited Wittmundhafen for the first time. Weather turned out to be a grey day, with a little rain.
Don't know if this is ussually for a friday, but the flying activities stopped after the 2nd wave and the runway lights were shut down at around 13:30.
Still I had a great time with some good flying action.. enough of the talk here is a little impression of the morning.

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. |

Hi Maarten,
despite the weather still really nice shots.
What I can remember from Hopsten, the same happened on fridays.
They usually stopped flying around noon.

Nice shots yes! I would give them a bit more saturation and contrast, but thats my personal opinion.
For instance shot #9 is very nice, but could have more contrast. The landing skyhawk (#6) is very nice, good timing there!
You perfectly portrayed the spooky atmosphere, very nice! And sharpness is NOT a problem for you is see... ...
BAD WEATHER RULES!!!!!!

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.

Despite the weather some nice images Maarten. But
like you're bro said a little bit sharpening would help
You have a great composition on the first one and indeed
a nice timing on those skyhawks
It is known that the Germans don't fly on friday afternoon!

Little bit of sharpness.... or contrast i think. They are sharp, rather sharp... i guess its more about contrast. (Which in the end is also related to sharpness and vice versa but yeah)
