For some reason I have a history of having fun spotting days on Easter. Today was no different, and I was excited to get to spend more than 20 minutes at LGA this afternoon.
I got a new folding chair, and headed down to the marina, hoping to eventually get Trump. Not only did I bring my 20D with the 100-400mm, I borrowed Mel's 40D with her 70-200mm 2.8, which is among the most firepower I've had shooting.
Thin and thicker clouds popped up a little, but I ended up taking almost 700 shots over the few hours. An eventual runway change from Expressway Visual 31 to runway 22 for landings forced me to changed locations, where I grabbed up some sunset shots while also getting Trump.

This is actually my favorite photo of the day.
