    SFO 9/11/10

    Had some free time in SF Saturday afternoon and the sky was perfect so I checked out the SFO Bayfront spotting park. It's quite far from the runways (1 mile or so) but I got nice views of landings and heavy takeoffs.

    First set I've posted, and still learning the limitations of my lens (18-270 mm Tamron on a Rebel T2i). Didn't do much post-processing on these because I'm not planning on submitting elsewhere, but please let me know if you guys have any tips (including, "just buy a new lens, dude.")

    Hi FromeDome, I think these are great shots. I'm using the same equipment and just learning the ropes

    Wow, nice stuff! Great seeing shots from SFO. Looks like you fought a little heat haze in some shots but that isn't your fault at all. Keep up the great work!

    great set - I always go to San Francisco to shoot planes but then end up going into the city instead - this reminds me of why I should stay for the planes sometime!
