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.

Gilze-Rijen 09-03-2011 Slopes and sunset

Post by WhiskeyDelta »

Hi all,

Went to Gilze-Rijen yesterday hoping for activity at the slopes and a nice sunset. The latter was not that successful, the slopes on the other hand were nice! Comments and tips are welcome.

Hi Lennart,
Not bad. Good pictures of the slopes, especially the detail picture of the rear loadmaster.
The eveningshots are beautiful despite the lack of sun. I have both shots too, so I post different ones:

1. The platform.

2. This is my favorite from the series.

Very nice shots!

Some constructive criticism for bvdboomen.
Watch the horizon line in your first image, the back of the tarmac is not your "horizon line" but the grass in the background is.

Kind regards

I already had trouble with this one while editing. I hope this is better?
Thanks for the feedback.
