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.

What did you do to the props of the C130? They're both moving and fixed :?
Nicely lit though!

Open your shutter seconds before start up (fixed position) and closing your shutter when the props are rotating ;-)

Great shots, again, Pieter! Good too see the planes were "on".

Nie photos. I guess they de- or extracted the stairs while your shutter was open.

Hmmm......that will be quite an exposure Thijs. How much time does it take to start up all 4 engines ? They shut down all engines at the same time, and you only have to start shooting just before they come to a full stop.....
