Nick, when were you there? I was around a few times today as work took me back to L.I. ... Didn't see anyone else spotting. These are TERRIFIC!! ;-) All I would suggest is to CROP TIGHT around the planes.

CONGRATS on a better camera and getting OUT with the mortals lol.

BTW, the EVA cargo was a nice surprise. Didn;t think about sticking around for it as I thought it would be a 747 :-( Too bad!!

Cheers!

Congrats on your new toy Nick! Looking forward to your future postings. By the way, nice lens for spotting as well.

Not sure when it came in, but I saw the Cathay silver bullet sitting in the cargo area this afternoon.

Thanks. I was sitting in my car from 11 to 3:30 near panara. Well not near it. I was in the middle of the parking lot. Im thinking of LGA before work tomorrow. Depends on what is going on. If not i'll prob do JFK.

Edit: the AOA will always be my specialty. I dont plan on cutting that out. :cool:

Congrats on the purchase Nick. Like Manny said, crop them tighter in whatever program you are using for editing. Interesting to see so many AA 738's...winter schedule?

Nice Shots...I agree about the tighter crop..I think that Capfay Pathetic and American should increase the size of the font on their planes..That will make them so much better.:redface:

Excellent Sets!! Was that SeaGull taking evasive action from that DL 763!

A small fact. AA planes dont have a drop of paint of the fuelsalage.

except for the logo, the stripes, the serial number, the warnings, etc... sure, no paint at all :tongue:

BTW Nick, it looks like your position in the parking lot was a lot closer to the stores, indeed within the parked cars themselves, than where we normally hang out which is right up against the fence along the side of Panera between the entrance sign and Panera. Not that your view is any worse, but with all the shoppers traffic I am wondering how you didn;t go mad! There are times the lot is full and then people park near us by the fence and they feel totally uncomfortable when they see us shooting the planes :-)

There was traffic but nobody paid any mind to me. Though after being there for so long im holding off going to that spot for a little bit. Hopeing for bayswater next. I can get that knocked off my list :cool: And actually no the stripes and logo on the fuelsalage are all stickers. Ive flown AA several times and ive examined it. I doubt paint needs to be glued as a precaution.

Well, never thought of "stickers" lol... good point!

Yuu can go to Panera for days on end and shoot all day long and NO ONE will even look at you funny... it is hilarious as you seem to be the normal one after seeing people drive on that lot! It is scary. Only the cops SOMETIMES give us a second glance. And even then is cursory or is part of their patrol. They even have a Sub Station in front of Best Buy... they know us well.

Actually, that lots has a lot of other funny stuff going on like the trucks that come and go and park against the McDonalds. I also see people use "our area" as a lunch space. Many people come, eat, sleep and take off.

Great shots Nick! I see you also got the new Qatar livery on that 777. Did you get the reg #?

Hmmm new livery? I havent noticed. Looks the same to me. These shots with my new camera are amazing. Very clear. I have the reg crystal clear. A7-BAL. Also a new 773 looking at the engines.

@ Manny Ah ok. Yea I noticed the trucks while I was there. Hmmm. Any help with watermarks folks?

OK, here are two quick and dirty samples to get the ideas rolling :-)

Let me know if you like these ideas or not... either way, let me know what you like and I can try to do it for you... do you have any logos or watermarks you like to mimic?

Above, the colors can be changed, the spacing etc.

Not sure, but I have a feeling Bayswater maybe closed for the season or something. The last few times I went to shot 4 arrivals and departures the gate was closed.

That's not cool! The other spot then would be somewhere around the old landfill just south west of Bayswater... or Edgemere park just next to it...

but that's far!
