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.

RAF Lossiemouth 30-31/01/12

Post by Macc »

Two beautiful days at the end of the month at Lossie. As XV(R)sqn weren't flying the first day I was only there for a couple of hours but the second day was excellent with gorgeous weather and a brilliant sunset at the end. A Typhoon from Leuchars also dropped in for a few approaches near the end of the day.

Monday was sunny in the morning but cloudy in the afternoon.

Tuesday was the opposite, with it cloudy in the morning and then the sun broke out soon after.

Very nice sunset pics! Number 15 is a poster!
Only one thing: It's a pity that the JPEG limitations are ruining some of the pictures.
JPEG is suitable for most circumstances but the subtle gradients of the evening light are to much for the 8-bit file format.
But I'm sure the originals look great, given that you shoot RAW.
