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.

Ramstein AFB 30-12-2019

Post by Zonan »

Hello,
Took a chance to go to Ramstein today in some great weather.
The day was pretty quiet, but at least the E-8 flew :)
Sadly I didn't bring my ladder so the hill does make photography quite tricky.

8. Really sad, but this was my "sharpest" image of the arrival. I still like it, but it's such a shame it's not sharp...

9. Luckily the arrival of Valor29 made up for the bad picture above 8)

Hope you liked those.

My guess is too slow a shutter speed ( 1/100th at ISO 100) for an aircraft that is approaching towards the camera?

Do you have a nice picture of the C5? I still want to visit Ramstein just to see a C5 fly.
