One more from me.

Sigh. What are the odds my shots come out messed up? Any guesses?

My guess are the odds would be relatively high considering that you are shooting with a fairly basic point and shoot and likely have limited editing ability. So do not beat yourself up. I actually much enjoy your photographic perspective on the departure. The appearnce of your photos lend to the appearnce of having been captured "in era" with early color film camera. And it also has the effect of accentuating the smoke contrails being emitted from the engines.

The second one isn't bad.

love those smoke trails reminds of being a kid and watching all those 31 departures a steady stream of twa,paa,and aa 707s,even better black smoke was generated by the cv880s !

NLovis, I like hte look of those pics.


our 5 year old canon elph is dying and the pics taken from it are looking a lot like yours. i like it b/c it gives a nostalgic look to it.

NLovis,
Don't feel too bad. N707JT hits the NY, NJ area countless times throughout the year. I can almost garantee you will see it within a year just work on getting a better set up before the next arrival. You might have to hit EWR or SWF maybe even JFK.

I just peeked into this thread now but WOW that thing smokes BEAUTIFULLY! I assume she's hushkitted but the smoke trail is still there!

NLovis, those are cool shots and yes they do look old school nostalgic and to be honest I'm personally not a fan of 100% grain free images myself, they're boring to me. Anyone would be extremely lucky to see a 707 in action and even more with the smoky old engines!

Be happy you're able to catch a 707 in 2010. So, give yourself an applause, Congratulations! :D

Yea i'm happy about catching it but I also wanted some good shots. Yea I was using an ancient film camera and those shots arent edited. Thats how they came out. Camera is from the 80's and the film was fujifilm. I think it was the crappy film that got me. Here are 2 more.

[hiss srq]

Honestly, I like the way your photos came out. I wish that new tower was not in the picture and I said several times before it would be perfectly beleiveable if this was shot in proper era. :borat:

Nothing different from any of the other folkses shots, but here she is...



Don't tell my bossy, I was sick that day lol. And, many thanks to Senga for talking me into running across a 4 lane road for this, and also to Fred for the parking info! Luv you guys!!!

Stop beating yourself up over the pictures. They are fine. Unlike some aviation photo sites the guys and girls on here
are not judgemental and if they do give any criticism its only in the helpful sense. That is why this is the BEST aviation
website on the Net. :D :D

wanted a clear shot like wunala's. Thats a nice shot.

[wunaladreamin]

Thanks kid. Just keep practicing the shooting, and really learn how to edit and you'll get there. Don't be afraid to ask questions about shooting or editing. I'm sure you'll get some real helpful answers from quite a few people here.We were all beginners once and, at least for me, without the help of some of the great folks here and on some other sites, I wouldn't be half the photographer I am today. Never stop learning. If you need anything, shoot me a pm bro.

Nice Kenny!! Everyones shots are great! I'm jealous - hoping to get a 707 tomorrow - N88ZL is still at OPF I hear!!
