Some cracking shots there kicker old man

:thumbs: :thumbs:

How is it that you get the runway threshold in the shot :bang: :bang:

Our local runways are extremely flat and not accessible even with a LOOOOONG lens :gag:

Great shots though!!:thumbs: :thumbs:

I learned to 'Levitate' when I was a youngster LOL
on a serious note, at Newcastle its on a small gradient which is obviously a great help for pictures

Nice short runway up there, bet its fun getting them down!

[busterboy]

Far from short, The perspective of the shot makes it look short.;)


No:2 is my fave..:)

[ed34]

great shots kicker :thumbs:
#2 is pick of the bunch for me :thumbs:

[oldgit]

All those shots and not one of them crashed and burned.... BUUHHH BORING!
(I only watch ski sunday for the barrier impacts).

Solid set of nice shots tho

Loving number 2, fantastic shot.

Nice shots there. Where abouts were you standing? I've shot some planes at Newcastle Airport but from the other side of the runway, didn't think you could get a view from the terminal side.

[Buttkicker]

thanks for the comments
At Newcastle you can take pictures from both ends of the runway

a long lens will help of course.... which 'compresses' the perspective, making the runway look very short
cheers Chris

Never realised that :embarrassed: Will have to have a look up again, I've got a tokina 24-200 and a sigma 70-300 so I should have enough reach. Where you using your 200mm or 400mm?

[Buttkicker]

. Where you using your 200mm or 400mm?

500mm and 1.4x conveter was the kit used
although you can get closer than I was... I wanted the landing lights in my shots
cheers Chris
