    SXM 03/24/2011 - Part 3 - Image Heavy

    ...continued from Part 2

    Cactus leaves







    could never get the WestJet in good conditions. Came in only twice while I was there... I guess I will just have to go back to get it



    clouds... !



    once a week for Corsair means you don't get another chance unless you're staying longer. Again, the clouds did not help....

    After a long day at the beach, and meeting hundreds of people, Serge 's girlfriend asked to take a picture with "The Beach Photographer" as they called me. She was visiting from Russia.

    Manny, N345LC is a local bird based in FRG. Nice seeing an old friend in a different spot.

    It must have been some sight seeing the Corsair 747 coming in. What's with some of the gals with their hands up in the air? Where they sing to Y-M-C-A or Hands-Up.....Baby......Hands-Up? LoL

    Nice stuff Manny! Though when you go to SXM you have to get bonker shots!

    @John, Yeah, I saw a lot of birds from my local regional HPN... I mean, seems like all the rich folks from CT come to SXM and maybe hop over to the other secluded little islands... I shot about every bizjet that came in since I never know when I would get a shot at catching them again :-) as I spend most of my time at JFK shooting the big boys!

    @Mark, wow, I have to go back just to enjoy it without the camera. Having the camera makes you want to work and you don't get to enjoy the sight!!

    @Matt, they now have the DANGER sign as their profile pic :-) But yes, Everyone puts up their hands and gives their back to the planes as they come in while their friends take pictures of them with the planes in the BG.

    A funny story, this woman from Ukraine comes over to me, really nice lady. She starts to ask me about all my gear and how can she get a good picture of a plane with her P&S camera. She kept missing them or out of focus. So I showed her a few tricks and helped her get a good shot of one of the Biz Jets... she was sooooo excited she wanted to reward me! So she bought me a Beer!

    Everyone on the beach is SUPER friendly...

    Mark, the only problem you will have when you come back to NY, especially JFK, is the wonder why US is so strict about security at the perimeter when SXM has been doing it the open way for more than what, 70 years? LOL.
