Christmas Eve spotting at KLAX

Postby a1 » Mon Dec 24, 2007 11:04 pm

Once again bad camera and little experience. Saw my first 777 today. I was amazed at how quite quiet the engines were. :o

Here she is, the great Air France 777. Wasn't ready so it's not centered.

Looking good! Perhaps a bit more practice on centring the planes, then you should be ok. I struggled with that too at first.

Nice moody evening light! Can you set up on the other side of the glidepath, so you take shots of the righthand side of the plane, that's illuminated? That should really improve the shots too.

I like the womposition in the one with the billboard.  :)

Not bad at all... but you forgot the "img" brackets on that centered one... I fixed it for you.
Merry Christmas.

Now don't let it happen again!!   >:(

I have yet to spot a 767 or 757 becuase I always fly SWA...I take that back, I this a say a few 75/6/77's at Orlanda Intl. but I was paying more attentiong to the Virgin Atlantic 747 landing, taxiing and parking then anything else. A Virgin Atlantic 747 was taking off before us (we were heading fromOrlando Intl. to Nashville Intl.) and it scared the crap out of me becuase I was watching Seconds From Disaster the night before and it was the episode were a 737 or something like that took off too soon after a 747 and something with the winds and turbelence bad rudder movements...it is unclear but definently freaked me out... ;D
