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.

Trollenmastertje, yep, all scans (Provia 100F). I was lazy though and just did some cropped scans at modest resolution. This resulted in roughly 2000px wide images, resized to 800 later on. After finishing, I saw I overdid it on the sharpening. It probably pays off to make somewhat bigger scans even if 800px frames are the goal. Apart from that, these are small files, so there is inevitable loss of quality.
