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.

just one more.......... :D

And yes, it is realy worth the trip! Not only you see very exotic aircraft, they also fly like crazy! 3-4 missions a day with 4-6 aircraft per squadron is very normal. All the Hyakuri pictures you see are just two mornings at the field.

Hi Dino, I used a Nikkor 300mm f/4.0 on a D300s. It is a crop but the pic was very sharp so it still looks good.

BRILLIANT picture Stefan. :worship:

This one sums up for me what a visit to Japan is like ; absolute chaos in traffic, buildings, roads, language and people but if you get through it the reward (in the background) ... great photo opportunities of a fantastic Air Force, Army and Navy .... sorry for getting philosofical & emotional. :wink:

I sure do like the angles/compositions, but I'm not sure about the quality/sharpness. I see very strange colors here and there.

And generally, it is refreshing to see all these Spring photos from Nihon, including the Kanoya Open House. Here's another reason to go back again..!
