Last shots of 2016 contained a couple of firsts: First time spotting a BTQ King Air and first time I recall seeing a classic 737 in the latest WN livery.

Good God. A Robinson and a glider had a night of passion, and that Skyhawk's looking at the landing gear, remembering that orgy, and is terrified that someone's going to do a paternity test. {crazy}

My first A320neo:

My 1500th upload :) Yesterday I visited BRU for the Luchtvaartdag (Airport Day), with lot of activities and displays. Tours were also offered free of charge for Brussels Airlines, TUI and the airport itself. There was also a contest for a spotting session from the control tower and I had the chance to be one of the few lucky winners {blush} ! While landings are usually made on 25L, cargo aircraft use 25R and this Ethiopian 777F came at the right moment...

During a work trip, I made a quick side trip to Scotland to see my parents, via EDI:



Back to LHR, got dumped on a remote stand at T5 and then someone started looking for a bus, then they started looking for stairs. Epic light and I'm stuck in an A320. Made the best of it:



Then to ORY, ostensibly for work:



Meeting out of the way, the real purpose of the visit:



And back to LHR again. Grabbed a Philippines A340 (a regular in Finnish airspace) from the hotel, before getting back on Finnair...



...and heading back to HEL:



HEL was HEL, and having 25 minutes' delay out of LHR due to a no-show made a tight connection still tighter. Worse still, it led to the "one that got away" for this trip: No sooner were we loaded into the inevitable bus right past passport control to the wrong end of the airfield than Hekla Aurora took off on the far side of the airport {hissy} Compared to that, not getting my bag was a minor inconvenience.

Somewhere in all that mess, I sneaked past 1000 uploads.

Thanks ruper15 ! I'm using a Canon 7D, the lens was a Samyang 8mm fisheye :)

Mind you, I ain't all that as an AV photographer just yet. (Don't have the right kit for it. Yet.) But none of that stops me from trying. And I managed to bag a rare-ish bird yesterday. (Which . . . everyone else has photographed too, mind.)



It was out and about with a pair of EA-18Gs . . .





and two T-33s. (I saw one of the T-33s heading back to the airport as I was driving up, but I couldn't get a picture.)

The EA-18s were apparently doing approaches and maybe touch and gos. Was an exciting day at Lambert. Practically an airshow.









Anyway, that's my day yesterday. That plus some more garden variety civilian stuff.

Nice to have you onboard. Some of our best photographers started out with little kit and worked their way to some great shots.

That 757 is a funky-looking beast. It seems to have earned the nickname 'catfish'
A million great ideas...

Suddenly, getting catfished doesn't sound so bad... :))

It's more the quality of the kit than the quantity. My longest lens is neither terribly long nor very fast. It works fine for landscape and rail photography. Planes move a little faster, they're a little smaller, and it's harder to get close. But yes, I'll eventually break down and get different kit. And I hope I will learn this new art. Thank you for your encouragement.

Indeed! I think I saw it again last night, though I didn't have any good way to confirm it. Shot some video and an aircraft of about the right size kept making touch and goes on an unpopular runway. I'm going out on a limb and guessing that the catfish was out again. Apparently they use it to test avionics on fighters. Was previously equipped for the F-22. I'll bet they're working on the avionics for the TX. (Which is what I'd really like to get a good picture of. Eventually. But those things are slippery little birds unless you have a Boeing employee ID.)

It was kind of fun, actually. :) Catfish and Growlers all around. Tasty!

Putting my new (used) 6D through its paces:

ISO 12,800:


ISO 51,200:


ISO 10,000:


Pretty happy so far. Larger ISO range, and handles noise better than the 5D2.

Pretty impressive indeed {thumbsup}
My 7D at 800 ISO would be worse {crazy}

Yeah, I can see why you like it. That's a heck of a good low light performance. Even the 51,2 doesn't look too noisy. Gorgeous!
