Birmingham Airport - Picture Thread

[Elmdon80slad]

I shoot in RAW also but as i now have the very new FZ300 bridge camera its only compatable with the later versions of Lightroom or Photoshop and i have LR5 that i paid for a key for some time ago.
I changed over to a bridge cam to get the lens range as i now have a 28-600mm lens and its a Leica one to boot so the IQ is quite good, here is a shot from it.

Great pictures, Ray.

I'm still finding it hard to believe that they represent a 'typical' day at BHX .

Great pictures! The increase in variety over the past year or so is truly remarkable.

 

[Elmdon80slad]

Yep very nice pictures ray and as said - what a variety starting to look like a decent airport

The AA 757 wasnt Tech, until it goes daily again it normally night stops on a Tuesday, hence why it is parked up.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Not the best conditions so I didn't stay long.

A6-EOS

I think it's an Air France A320 looping round behind.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Air France A320F-GKXR

Czech Airlines A319 OK-NEM

Great to see them back

Changing the subject somewhat, I'm surprised, but delighted that my photos are still showing here.
Let me elaborate. A while back, I received a letter from Virgin Media, stating that my 'webspace' was to be terminated as of 28 April 2016 (I hadn't done anything wrong, honest! - Virgin are closing their webspace allowance).
I have used this webspace, to both host photos and hotlink them to forums such as the excellent Forums4Airports.

I am therefore on the lookout for a new host for my photos.
I would like certain criteria - free, able to create folders and the ability to hotlink individual photographs.

Having viewed many photos here, I very much like the Flickr set up. I don't have any accounts with Facebook, Twitter or similar - would this cause a problem? I do however have a Yahoo email address.

Any advice on the above, or alternative hosts would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Kevin

 

[Ray Finkle]

I don't think Facebook or Twitter is an issue.

I quite like Flickr. It's easy to sort your pictures into albums to keep things tidy and sharing them on other people's groups is a great way of getting them seen. It's also fairly easy to link to. You can also put a link on here directly to one of your albums, in a similar way that Simon does.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Apologies, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is just a test, as I've recently set up a Flickr account -

Hmmm, links OK but doesn't expand to the expected 1280 x 857 pixels. Also, I'm having trouble setting up individual albums/folders on my Flickr account. I'm very new to Flickr and any advice would be much appreciated.

[Edit] OK, I think I've sorted the creating of albums/folders, but I'm still puzzled over the size of my photos. They're 1280 x 857 on my PC, but only 1024 x 686 on Flickr and also, the photo linked here.

Regards.

Kevin

No apologies needed Kevin - a great shot; thanks. One of the things I like about A380 photos is when they incorporate the effect she has on others, so the crowd size and their interest in her always add to these shots for me.

 

[Ray Finkle]

I agree it's a great picture, thanks for sharing it

Not sure about the sizing, there is a Flickr forum where it's possible to get some advice, it may be worth asking on there.
