Well done Eric, I did not realize you were out there. I know a few others were around. I missed that plane stuck in traffic headded to LaGuardia. I cannot wait to see it though. Well done my friend!

Great Job Eric on the catch and edit.

[Iberia A340-600]

She's so beautiful! :cry:

I can't wait to see her, nice catch Eric. :)

I guess this is the review thread for today. Unlike Eric, I stuck around to photograph anything with wings :) New camera doesn't suck! Feedback! Please!

Jet Airways


Cargolux - I shot this one in RAW. All of my RAW pics were very noisy, especially compared to the JPEG my camera created for the same shot. Either my camera has a very good noise reducer, or I don't know what I'm doing, or both :)


An entirely unmarked El Al Cargo plane


Cathay Pacific - I never get out early enough to see this


Virgin America looks good at sunset :)


Royal Jordanian is always a hit


Austrian Star Alliance is back...I had some trouble with the color correction here


British Airways 747 - I really like how this one came out


Lufthansa - ditto


Air China Cargo - This is one of my favorite paint schemes

Nice work Eric getting her maiden flight into Kennedy.

adam613, Nice shots, they all have a nice blue sky to them.
Was there any shutter lag with your new camera?
I had a FZ-20 by the same branded and hated it! It had terrible shutter lag.

Yeah, and most of the skies aren't even that Photoshopped...it really was that nice outside :)

There's a little shutter lag, but not bad enough to bother me (ie no clipped noses or tails). I wouldn't have noticed it if my previous camera hadn't been so fast.

The lag that does bother me a bit is writing to the memory card...it takes about 2/3 of a second per picture for hi-res and over 3 seconds for RAW, so burst mode isn't terribly useful. Then again, I'm also not entirely convinced I need to take more than three pictures every two seconds, so I think it's a good tradeoff for the improved picture quality.

Here are some quick edits from sunday.





















I will try to post some more later this evening.

Nice pics...

There's already a thread for this: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8899

Were you at Costco? There were a few of us at Firestone for most of the afternoon...we saw the same planes from a different angle :)

[Joe C]

Nice Shots to all!!
What time did that China Airlines Cargo 747F came in that day??
I normally would see it in the early morning. I did manage to snapshot a China Airlines Cargo at JFK departing in a late afternoon in the summer. Was it late?

just looking at the last Fed Ex DC10 and noticed the Titles are Fed Ex Express isn't that redundant?

There's various forms of FedEx services.
