Maybe he got bored of people stealing his images?

And if the watermark spoils the post then, in my opinion, it's a very shallow way to view photos

Is it known how long this exercise is on for.....
Presumably most aircraft will depart at night from Fairford, especially the B2's.

Great pics,but very distracting, like a mole on the face of a very pretty girl.

I am not complaining about the water mark - I just think the pics would look better without a water mark.

Nice pics (much better than mine - I was there today) but I don't really think people would steal the image - they are not in that league.

Well, if I'm honest, it's the photographers choice to make. It's his intellectual property to protect how he wishes. Regardless of your uninformed opinions.

You can still see the picture, it's composition, the colours and the subject. So what is the big deal?

I stand by my earlier statement, if you can't see past a watermark on a picture, then that is a very shallow way to look at ANY image.

B2's, to me, always look "other-worldly". They don't look as though they should be able to fly in a controlled manner, but they're graceful at the same time.

In photo 3, the fact there's normality in the image - People, Trees, Road, Sign posts - seems to heighten that freakish quality! :thumb:

Re watermarks, if you can't see past em, you ain't qualified to comment on images of any sort!

Great set!
