Non-aviation photography....

There really are some great photos here!

Stefan's mentioning of Madeira made me want to get in the Madeira mood, so here are a few from my two previous trips to this beautiful little island with fellow JP contributors Tom Gautier and Adam Spalding.

Me and Tom are heading back there in November with fellow photographers Jimmy Leaman and Aidan Ingham, really can't wait to get back!

Hope you had a good time, Stefan!

In all honesty it was just an ok trip. I seem to prefer the canary islands of Tenerife and La Palma. (especially due to the people and the food)

Some more from Madeira - all with my hiking camera - an old Nikon Coolpix 5700

Nice photos, Stefan. I guess we all have our favourite places! I've never been to the Canaries but it's on my 'to visit' list.

Was there much evidence of the mudslides around Funchal or is it largely back to normal?

If you drive up to Sao Vincente there are plenty of road works and other construction going on due to the mudslides. A few of the hiking trails are also still closed or not fully repaired yet.

Paul and Stefan...
What absolute rubbish!! All those pictures, and not a plane in site. Shame, shame, shame. Really then, wonderful shots. I might crawl though some of mine and get the nerve up to post some of mine.

Haha! Cheers Tim, yeah get some up.

A quick couple taken a few minutes ago out of my skylight. Wish I'd have known it was going to be like that, I'd have made more of an effort to move my ass somewhere with a better view than my bedroom!

No colour alterations here whatsoever beyond adding a little saturation. The sky really was that spectacular!





Fletch - Great shot!

Here are spme walking around La Palma in 2009





and the last one more for the effect of the clouds moving in, than for photographic value

Corfu, Oct 2, 2010. A hungry bird entertained me with its various fishing methods, while I was waiting for the next plane to come.

Very nice and sharp, I love the third photo on which you can also see the fish he is chasing

It has been over 1 year, so I guess I can use this picture now. I shot this last year at the Miramar MCAS Airshow during the MAGTF display. Seen here are four "Force Recon" Marines, each pointed in a cardinal direction, after having dropped in from a helo. This picture seems really compressed...I think that happened when I uploaded it onto the server.

Hot Shot, I would say.
