Sorry if I sound mean but, why do all your shots look like your using a $20 camera, and you have no idea what focus is, expect for #3 (well that may be the heat in the others) Huh

Judging the quality, I think our friend use the digital zoom of his camera... a big no-no, as it lowers the quality... stay with the optical zoom...

Oh, and BTW... KONT is the Dutch word for ass or bottom... Grin

I use the Canon Powershot A95. The bad quality is because the soom isn't very good and I wasn't allowed any closer to the airport. Embarrassed

Nice landscape opportunity with the Southwest 737 and ExpressJet ERJ 145. Good effort on the one with the 737 on departure from behind the ALS. I know it can be hard when you're taking pictures of an airplane going +/- 140 kts on approach, but try to center the subject a little better. Otherwise, not too bad for your first time out. The first camera I used was a Canon 35mm and the pictures came didn't come out as well as yours believe it or not.

You definitely need a better camera, or maybe lay off the zoom a bit and use cropping to bring the planes "closer"... you've got an eye for composition, that's for sure.

Dont crop too much as that will kill the shot even more Cool

Check this out: found it while doing a paper for summer school: airfoto.photosite.pl Provides some excellent information that I expect you will like.

Nice try. Photography is a tough skill to master, and one that I certaintly haven't. I need to post my pics from my recent Citrus HPN-ATL-HPN trip.

Good snaps for a Powershot.

As said, quality is a bit lacking...but that ain't your fault !! Love number 3, great angle!!

Think its cool to see some shots with a cool backdrop, unlike all the boring plane+blue sky ones which we see so many of, even if they are 'quality'
