The day started off just like any other day, except........
1) it was -18F
2) a Polet Air AN124 was due in before sunrise
I decided to give it a go! I arrived a few minutes before it was due in and managed to see it land on 12L. I drove over to the Humphrey ramp and jacked the ISO up to 3200
WTF it was a Volga Dnepr plane.:confused:

And yes, -18F was COLD!
Not my greatest work, high ISO, insanely low shutter speeds and me shivering, but this is the stuff that makes great stories.:cool:
