Set myself up at Gatwick this lunchtime, hoping to get some shots. I Positioned myself in the layby on the M23 running along the end of 26L&R. At 1400 i wasnt disapointed, when this vietnam airways A321 came shooting overhead

Now in real life i could only dream about having the same control over the shots as i do in Fs. Got this nice fence shot

Someone i know works at gatwick on the tower, got this beauty of a shot as it hit the numbers

C and C welcome. Hope the story wasnt too cheesy!! :-? :-? :-?

Nice ones! Excellent idea. I'll remember that ;)

And please ... never, ever cut of parts of a plane that are not intentional, for example with extreme zoom.

Indeed ... I feel that it takes away the balance in the shot :-/

oh i know, but its litterally a slither, a problem with trying to line the camera angle up. Got a bit of blank on the right, as you look at it. Sorry.

Sorry.

No need to apologize ... opinions and taste differ. Luckily ;)
