1st time at the Airport

[Raphy]

Any feedback would be appreciated on these... never shot airplanes before... :dunno Went out with a buddy yesterday to Pearson Int'l Airport in Toronto and just shot around... There was a nice spot where planes would just take off overhead. The idea was to get them landing, but the winds were in the opposite direction so they had the planes take off from this location instead of landing... oh well..next time.. :thumb

These were shot with a 55-200 VR f/4-5.6G lens - handheld.

Thanks for looking!

Decent return on time invested.

Taking shots like these at our local airport
would probably land me in a long conversation with the police.

Don't think I've ever seen a lens flare quite
like the one in #3. Interesting.

Nice pics. I have flown numerous overnight trips into Pearson during the first part of the year. Ever been to Arizona's?. Retired this past March. The aircraft in pic#3 is the one I flew. Here's an inside shot.

Hi Raphy, I like the first and the last shots in this series.
I enjoy watching the planes come in to land and to take off
whenever I am at the Airport.

Thanks for sharing.......... you got some great shots :thumb .... Skippy :D
