Here are a few from Bayswater and HoBe. Meet Tom at Bayswater and snapped a few before they switched over to the 31's. Finally caught the pink Delta in some good light!!!

I agree; great shots. What is the length of the telephoto zoom lens used and shutter speed? I think Bayswater is the approach to Rwy 4R. Since I don't drive, it's impossible for me to go there so keep posting. Thanks. I used to take a taxi out to Rockaway Blvd in the "Concorde Days" and hang-out on the hill next to Rwy 22L. It was awesome except for the ticks and mosquitoes.

Thanks for the feedback! I used a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens with a 1.4x teleconverter. Given the crop factor of the camera of 1.5 my overall range was 147-420mm. When shooting jets I typically use Shutter Priority with a shutter speed of 1/1000 or faster. For props I'll use a shutter speed of 1/250 or slower to achieve prop blur. The banking photo's were taking from the Addabbo bridges (on Cross Bay Blvd). I positioned my self on the bridge to get a better perspective as opposed to taking pictures from the parking lot in HoBe. Hope this helps.
