Birmingham Airport - Picture Thread

[Kevin Farnell]

What a great variety of aircraft and airlines. Shows just how much BHX has grown over the last couple of years.

Yeah i loved it, got there at 9am this morning and just got back. I have a red face as it got pretty warm this afternoon.
I just love it on a busy summer afternoon, the sun shining, the whiff of aviation fuel and all that aircraft noise. SWEET

Hope you didn't have to take out a second mortgage to pay for the parking.
As for the red face? Yeah!, been there done that! to the point that many of my friends refer to it as 'Airshow Face'. I've learned my lesson, and now apply factor 50 sun block.

I just love it on a busy summer afternoon, the sun shining, the whiff of aviation fuel and all that aircraft noise. SWEET

In one sentence, I think you've summed up perfectly why we all love it.
Pleased to hear that you had a great day.

Regards

Why was the United 757 parked up - had it gone tech?

Had an hydraulic oil leak, spare part flown in the next day from EWR

As I live in the city centre mate, I always catch the 900 bus at the bottom of my road. Im there in 20 mins. £2.50 there and £2.50 back. Total cost £5.00

Brum X, you have given me a treat this day with your pictures, my own vision is dodgy at best so your images deserve merit. THANK YOU.

Brum X, nice pics! A great set of lots of different airlines and planes!

Those photo's are top quality, they put mine to shame

The Air India one is great

 

[Aviador]

You need to start selling posters!

 

[Ray Finkle]

Very kind words, thank you both.

For me the subject of the photo is as important, if not more important, than the technical side. As a collective your pictures show the variety of airlines and aircraft type in a way that I've not seen before. Looking through your album I actually felt as if I was there

Cheers, ive decided that after my holiday (which is soon, i cant wait) im going to invest in a camera and get some better quality photo's. The last 2 times that ive been to the airport, ive actually enjoyed taking them. In the past i just wanted to watch the planes, and would get bored very easily taking a photo of them.

 

[Kevin Farnell]

Great photos Ray, as always!
Like Brum X, I think that the Air India B787 is the standout photo. It's pin sharp and perfectly exposed. The lighting under the wings is balanced by a well lit fuselage against a beautiful sky.

Top marks

Don't knock yourself mate!

I think that the composition of your photos were excellent, as was the lighting. The only thing I would suggest, is it looks like the lens needs cleaning.
Please, keep taking photos and posting them here.

A bit of a grumpy looking sky but I thought it still worthy of a picture.

Turkish Airlines A321 TC-JSJ in the Borussia Dortmund Livery.

Its a shame that these flights were discontinued

 

[Ray Finkle]

Great picture mate, thanks for posting it

 

[Brum X]

Is it really a year ago since we had those flights. Time really does go quick.
