    LGA - 3/28/07

    I went spotting yesterday for the first time since September. Seriously. Man I missed it.

    Got some LGA action. There were a LOT of private traffic that really surprised Tommy and I.

    I did loose edits on soe of my shots, but here's some of what we got:

    I FINALLY got the Astrojet. It took YEARS and taking pics of it literally a dozen times before I either got it right or had good weather. I've seen it through windows, during haze, backlit, and even accidentally underexposed it -2 once from this same spot. Well, it's finally in the bag with a shot that I'm pleased with...I shot RAW + JPEG this time to make sure. :)



    One of many bizjets from the day.



    We got some good banks, but many planes went wide.



    This was a nice surprise. I'd forgotten all about it.

    Nice Phil, I remember when you accidently hit the exposure comp. You redeemed yourself. Nice shot.

    The AstroJet shot is great, almost looks like a painting.
