A nice (cold) day out with nice folks. Was nice hanging out with y'all :smile: Here's some shots taken from Costco and Panera, between 11am and 3:30pm.

Rom, it was good to actually get to introduce myself today. You got some nice captures there. I hope you made it home ok without your battery dying on you again. Was good to hang out with Eric, Jason, Akie, and Mark as well.

Here are a few of mine that I have edited so far. Decent amount of specials today. I can't help but think that Matt helped us out with the clear skies and special liveries. Thanks Matt!

Awesome shots Steve! I like how the snow make those birds look extra special. It was nice meeting you! Thanks for your concern, I did make it home ok. Argh, can't believe I missed the beardy Virgin because I left for 3 minutes to buy stupid cigarettes! Here's one more reason to quit: spotting!

[steve1840]

Oh man...yeah, I'd have been tripping over people to get out of the store to get a shot of beardz.

I can't believe I forgot to add this to my set.....the whole reason I stayed all day instead of returning to the office.....guess its two straight weeks without a day off now...

Awesome shots, Guys!!!!!! My last visit at JFK was on March 19, 2007. I know it has been a looooooong time. :-) So, I would love to go to JFK someday.

Looks like Steve and Jason both captured that Q400 from different sides. Great fill light today bouncing off that
snow cover. I'm jealous- wish I could off been out there.

[Delta777LR]

OMG, it was great! Normally I don't really like shooting during midday since the light is usually pretty harsh and you get blown out tops and underexposed bottoms, but I LOVE shooting midday after it snows. The light bounce was incredible, especially on the AA birds.

I was only planning on popping out for about 2 hours, but one thing let to another and a few specials popped up on the radar, so I came out earlier than expected and stayed later than I originally wanted to. See ya in March!

[AA757]

Great shots by everyone.... lots of specials.....

Excellent day for spotting (even though it was cold), and seeing everyone! Finally got around to a few images. All the images below were taken with the 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x teleconverter. Now to work on the remaining images.

A 31R departure

Superb shots, Mark, Manny, Akie. Manny, I was originally going to Bayswater and felt SO relieved when liveatc started saying "cleared to land 31R". Man, I bet Bayswater was bitchy cold, as you'd call it :tongue:

[MSN007]

Wow it looks like a coordinated attack on JFK by NYC mob, good job guys.

[steve1840]

Wow...Mark, Manny, Akie.......great stuff. Glad I was able to shoot with you guys for a second weekend in a row. Manny, hopefully next time I'm in town we get a chance to chat longer.

[gonzalu]

Thanks Steve, Fasil... We murdered JFK :tongue:

Steve, indeed. I would have hung out but was hosting so I went to NOT take pictures elsewhere LOL... next time indeed!

[Zee71]

Next mob scene will be when we visit Fasil in DC

Manny .... What lens did you use to shoot the Emirates?

[steve1840]

Next mob scene will be when we visit Fasil in DC


When are we all going to do this? Haha! A DC trip sounds great!

[gonzalu]

Mark, I used the lowly 70-200mm f/2.8 on the D800 with the TC17. But I was VERY VERY careful :tongue: I put the railing to good use! 340mm total focal length...
