JFK - 1/7/2013 (Heavies)

[Zee71]

With vacation winding down and awesome afternoon light decided to step out this afternoon for a few 31L departures. All images were shot using a 1.7x teleconverter on a 300mm f/2.8 lens.

[Cal07]

Nice set!! The Aero looks all chrome... Was that all lighting?

[Roush6NY]

Beautiful stuff my friend .. Must agree with Nick on the last shot !!

[Zee71]

Thanks guys .....

Akie .... Yes! That's the way the light hit it and provided a spectacular shot.

[Delta777LR]

That China Airlines 747 and Aeroflot A333 are the beauty shots!!

[gonzalu]

Mark, please upload the nose shot to A.net, it should go "Nuclear" as Nick would say .. wow!!

[Zee71]

Will do! Once my queue gets emptied out.

[nexpos]

WOW! Amazing shots - nice and crisp. Love that last one. Hope to see you out there soon.

Very nice, I agree about that last shot- and did you say that was a 300mm 2.8? Thought you had the f/4

[lijk604]

Mark, awesome set! That nose shot is out of this world.

[steve1840]

Super photos MArk!!! Love the close-up!

[Zee71]

William ...... I have both, 300mm f/4 and treated myself to the 300mm f/2.8 (which is a kick #$$ lens). It is one sick piece of glass.

[TSGSpotting]

That last shot is awesome Mark!

[CX777]

Yet another awesome set Mark! These are as good a banking shots that one can possibly get off 31's..really doesn't get any better than whats on display.

[smspro]

The belly shot offers a unique perspective. Great lens and shots.
