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.

SAR Exercise 'GRIFONE 2011' - ITALY

Post by MasterJet »

Some pictures from the SAR Exercise 'GRIFONE 2011'. The exercise take place almost every year in Italy. Countries involved were Italy with several armed forces, France, Swiss and Malta...unluckily this year Spain didn't take part in the exercise.

Here are some pics...hope you enjoy

Cheers

First of all: use [IMG] tag only, instead of yours with adds in the tag, then the photos will be visible immediately!
But they are worth looking up!
Really nice shots of some nice helicopters!! You had an awesome background there!
They could be a tiny bit overexposed in some shots, otherwise they are well shot!!
More??? :P

I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.

It may be a matter of personal opinion or even the screen indeed. Could well be that its just my screen which makes the white of the Carabinieri and GdFinanza helicopters a bit too white/blown out... So nothing to be worried about actually ;)

I am agree with you about the carabineri...but consider that all the shots were made between mid hours...by the way I will do a check on the original files! Thanks a lot...
