Avidor was you the strange person security where watching walking about with a camara,some one said its ok he harmless

 

[Aviador]

Nah but I think I know who you mean. (Weren't you in the vicinity? )

Some excellent shots in the photo gallery, but can I correct the details of the British Midland T-Tail G-ELDH - It is a DC9-32 and not a Fokker 100. Flown on her to and from Heathrow many times and a fine aeroplane she was too. Once did LHR Take off to LBA landing in 27 minutes and still time for Diamond Service!

Few photo's of the Thomson 757 G-OOBG on arrival from Palma today at LBA, along with Jet2 737-300 G-CELG just airbourne on her way to Jersey.

Jet2 737-300


Also do apologize if the photo's aren't the best quality, only had my phone with me so had to make do.

 

[Aviador]

Thanks Concorde Lover. That top one looks miles away. You need at least a 70mm lens for photos taken there.

 

[Jordan-34092]

Aye you probably do but I can't complain as they were only taken with my camera on my phone, HTC One X 8 megapixels. Got more to post up later including a video.

Doesn't LBA look fabulous in the Summer Sun!

I'm thinking about getting the HTC One X... your photos displaying the camera quality is winning me over nicely...

Who needs a £500 Camera when you got an HTC one X.


The image sense technology is first class.

I would say you're best off getting an SLR camera with a 200mm lens. They are expensive but you get what you pay for. There's plenty of places where you can get a reconditioned SLR camera at a fraction of the price of a new model.

Any camera with a half-decent zoom will do for LBA, seeing as how close you are to the runway, especially when at the cemetery. I'm still using my 6 yr old Kodak with a mere-by-todays-standards 6mp, although it does have a 12x optical zoom. And seeing C L's pics on a sunny day has just given me the urge to get up there today. :yahoo: Blue skies, warm sunshine, women in skimpy outfits, and aircraft roaring over your head. Bliss :drinks:

 

[Aviador]

Good point, a lot of people make the mistake of getting a camera with a high digital zoom when optical zoom is much better. A high pixel camera with a good optical zoom with take some cracking pictures.

 

[Jordan-34092]

Nice photo's really good, where were you when you took the 757 with water in the foreground?

I'm never around when the 757's are usually in and out of the airport.

Thanks Masere, some lovely photos there, especially the Jet2holidays 737 on final approach and their 757 too.

 

[masere]

Thanks for the thanks lol. C L I was stood by the Tarn to take the 757 pic. Here's a few more, taken with camcorder whilst filming, so lower quality than the ones with the camera.

This Sums Leeds up! I love this picture.

Edit; Concorde Lover, if you go up on a weekend between half oneish & five you'll see all three 757 in & back out to where they are going. Same goes for Monday, Thursday & Friday! You can also get up extra early and be up there between 645 & 900 to get a real feel for rush hour

Hi masere, "lower quality", are you kidding, those are great shots?!

I especially love these two pictures. The one with the Jet2 and Thomson's gives it that busy feel.

(PS. have you tried using our photo gallery yet?)

 

[masere]

Well being 2.3mp compared to the camera's 6mp they ARE lower quality I did upload a pic to the photo gallery recently, but as these were taken at LBA I just put them here. If you wish to move them to the gallery feel free.

I've posted a couple of videos on Youtube that I took.
