Wow, where were you located?

Come on guys, this is super easy to do... You swim out to 31L/4L intersection under cover of darkness. You crawl out and place your camera on a remote small table tripod. You set it to shoot at 10 second intervals (must use cable release if your camera does not have an intervalometer function built it) You then go back the next evening and retrieve your shots... nice and simple. Just be careful and don't get caught! As for the different angles, Eric has his on a remote controlled turret he designed :tongue: but that's top secret stuff! LOL.

Nicely done seņor!

I have never seen that Cayman nice work there. It's always entertaining to see even the same crap but in different perspective.

Great job Eric! At least someone here eventually made it in there, must be nice...

...and I hate to bring this up again but several of us could have gotten this lucky if they hadn't cancelled the ramp tour during AI 2010 because of that schmuck in Times Square

Great stuff Eric! I believe Eric was located at the Crossbay Memorial Bridge (the just as you head into Rockaway) testing out his new 2500mm lens. From that location you can get great shots from the apex for the bridge. Additionally from time to time Eric uses his UAV to which he attaches his camera and lens too, unfortunately the batteries on the UAV don't last too long.

Nice grouping Eric. Some interesting processing on a a bunch which I really like. HDR or just Photoshop? (AA One World, Singapore 380...)

Thanks, since the lighting was a little tough, I went with a more artistic approach. Not exactly HDR, just playing around with different sliders and experimenting.

Great, great set, Eric.

The day I had the privilege of spending on the ramp was the best spotting day of my life. It's an opportunity everyone should try to take advantage of, if possible.

This has long been, I'm sure, the ultimate goal of this community: to obtain a method of making this kind of access a regular thing. If it were to happen, this community would become the envy of the spotting world! Eric, I'm sure you can't divulge your source (and nobody should ask you to), but I'm sure you realize how lucky you are to have a contact like this.

Not so sure, I think the boys at Heathrow have us beat in that department and they don't even need ramp access.
