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.

C17 Globemaster III in the Low Level envelope........

Post by Sullivan »

After seeing a posted heads up of activity in LFA17 and only 1 1/2 drive away I high tailed it up to Smaithwaite with my usual partner in crime. The morning consisted of 2 x AH-64, C17 & 2 x AW101's. Unfortunately the AH64's puled up off the lake and disappeared before Raven Cragg, but thankfully the others came along to make it worthwhile. Unfortunately my vantage point wasn't ideal as the C17 decided to try and do an impression of Moses and part the waves leaving me somewhat high and wide, but there you go. The light was the harshest I've ever shot in and to be truthful I don't think I mastered the conditions.

Only a few as my eyes are on stalks.....

C&C and advice about settings when shooting in such harsh light would be more than welcomed. Everyday is a school day!

Cheers,

Kelvin
