LGA 12/29

[Matt Molnar]

Went to the GCP bridge to catch 13 departures to start off my four day weekend. Unfortunately I got there too late for really good light, around 3pm, the sun was a bit low and was poking in and out of some clouds, so many of my shots were underexposed, even on 200ISO. Stayed for an hour until the sun was officially behind a thick cloud layer (even though above the airport was clear), got a few decent shots, no particularly interesting planes. I caught exactly 10% of American Eagle's EMB-135 fleet, which gets really boring. I saw Pink Delta, Astrojet and Piedmont taxiing to gates, but unfortunately none of them took off again before I left. :(

BA heading south, I'm guessing it's their LGW-ATL service.

Caught some JFK arrivals from that spot too. :D

Those shots are fantastic! I like the ATA 737-8 the best as well as the American Eagle RJ's. The clarity of them is just great!

Thanks Bellucciman. While the lighting sucked in these pics, I must say there's an amazing difference in how sharp these photos are compared to my first trip. The reason: I learned the differences in the Auto Focus modes and switched to the correct one, AF Servo.
