PHL spotting on "Black Friday"... Rotty's shots

Postby beaky » Sat Nov 24, 2007 2:16 pm

Sure is a great spot, but my camera is not worthy, really.
But what the heck... here are a few.

The first one gives you an idea of how close one can get... the only drawback is the chain-link fence which prevents shots of the aircraft as they touch down.

Awesome shots! I think the camera is taking the shots just fine. I like looking at other spotters because my rgl AP doesn't have more than 5 or 8 flights a day.

Great shots, Sean!!

Great place to spot isn't?  Next time you come down we will park your cars in the lot at the other end and I'll show you all the spots!!

What about the video you were taken?

Good to see you again and to meet James and of coarse Peg!!! :)

Actually, this reminds me a lot of my favorite spot at EBBR. But there you have a field in front of the fence, which gives you an unobstructed view on the arriving planes.

And don't worry about the quality of the camera, I'v been there and done that. You can hardly say these are bad! Perhaps a bit dark, longer exposure next time? And you could try to aim a bit better, so we see the full planes. But who am I to tell you this...  ;)

The NWA Airlink one is a great shot!

Yeah, the NWA came out well, because I planned to catch it as it headed into the sun... ;D
As for the partials: with the Lufthansa A330, at least, I was just trying to get the nose. I was waving, too- hoped the skipper might wave back. ;)
Among other problems, my camera's viewfinder focus is broken, so it's hard to say exactly what one has when looking thru that... ::)

Now that can be considered a small glitch... bummer...
