Cargo Cargo Cargo !!! - Alaska part trzy

[tipek]

Its me again. I'm posting here pictures from my first full day at ANC. As you can see (comparing to pictures from two other Alaska posts) the weather was not that great. Entire day was mostly cloudy. I was trying to select stuff that I didn't post earlier, but is hard to pass on DC-6 and other beauties :)
So here it is, my last batch of pictures from Anchorage.

Congratulations on those photos. Traffic is absolutely fantastic and your photos are really good.
If you don't mind, I would like to make a small question (well...in fact two :oops: )
Is there any chance to tell me (us) some basic directions to the spotting places and how many mm are needed to make photos there? Do you think that a 100-400 is enough ?
Second question. Did you shot in Lake Hood? Do you have photos of those little Cessnas and Beavers with floaters? (I love that stuff)
Thanks :wink:

Good to know that we have somebody from Lisbon on this board. In exchange for ANC locations I will request something simmilar for LIS airport. Hopefully I will get there this fall or winter.
In ANC you will need wide angle lens to probably 300mm - It depends on the location.
For runway 14 you will need something smaller than 70mm - thats what I had and couldn't do side on shots of 747s (my lens 70-300mm was more than enough for all locations).
I've received a lot of requests for spotting locations at ANC, so I've created quick map with descryptions.
I've posted downloadable link on my front page http://www.flyiad.net/ - I will keep it there for 30 days, so get it now :)

Thanks for the map Rafal. That is excellent!
As for info on Lisbon, go ahead and ask. You can use pm's to reach me. :wink:
