    JFK 11/08

    Some late afternoon spotting at JFK.

    GREAT stuff, Eric! I assume that was full 400mm with some good crop?

    My favorite is the Delta 767. Wunala Dreaming becomes tough after daylight savings, but it looks good!

    Thanks....

    Actually most of those were shot between 300 and 400mm. Not to much crop needed.
    Five minutes earlier and there would have been some more light on Wunala.

    Nice shots Eric, I saw Wunala leave LAX yesterday, I was going to text someone to let them know it was heading to JFK but figured she would get there after dark.

    Sunset was 4:44 yesterday, she came in about 4:35, just not enough light.

    The shots are amazing! Are they taken from the tower?

    No, Not from the tower. Public location.

    Beautiful shots Eric! I was loving the light yesterday and hoping that someone was taking advantage. NIce!
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    I think I recognize the place, my question is how did you manage to last long enough to get all these shots?

    Exactly what I was thinking, Moose... If this is where I think it is, then I got booted repeatedly by PAPD for trying to snap a few back in '95 or so... Nevertheless, these are some great shots Eric!

    Well, its not where you think because the location I was at was not built in 95.

    Re: JFK 11/08

    I stand corrected, sir! Looks an AWFUL lot like the perspective that my location of multiple attempts gave, though...

    Edit: Looking at some overhead imagery, I think I got it now. It sure enough wasn't there 14 years ago! Amazing similarity in
    perspective, though...
