Turns out the new wing of the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum is not a bad place for spotting at Dulles... braved the chill and blowing snow today to shoot outside a little. Just random semi-experimental stuff; I kind of like the effect I got using the flash to catch the snowflakes later when it started getting dark.
The tower, BTW, was built for the museum- you can go up there and see quite a bit of the airport. Pretty lousy viewing today: about 500 overcast with blowing snow and 1 mile vis.
But there's also a mini ATC museum in the tower, where they have a TRACON work station mockup, complete with audio and scope video recording loop of real traffic at KEWR, of all places...

Sperm invasion.

Can't wait to see more, Sean. I went there once a year or so ago. Need to get back!

Me want More!!!

That last one is cool!!  Looks like your looking into the sky filled with comets!!

How come all the pictures are from outside, wouldn't they let you in!!!! How about some from the museum!  Nice shots BTW, last one looks like a meteor shower.  Mark

BRRRRR!!  I enjoyed the shots, something different from all the sunny clear day shots.  The last one as everyone has said does look like a meteor shower, I love it, gives the picture a lot of life.

That's a cool tower!  

I like the experiment with the snow, very creative.

Glad it was snow, because at a first glance I couldn't believe the amount of noise in your shots!  ;D
