No Not Bristol…Barcelona,14 Apr..Brilliant!

Hi all, Just got back from a meeting in Barcelona and managed keep my speaking part down to a minimum and made my excuses to leave to “catch and early flight”. Anyway managed to get some hours around the airport prior to boarding my delayed flight back to Bristol. If anyone has ever thought about going to BCN for photography….don’t think….do it! What a fantastic place for aviation photography with some great vantage points dotted around
the airport. A local chap introduced himself to me whilst I was fumbling with my camera, next minute he is taking me to some great areas that only the locals know about. I recommed this guide, which proved invaluable:

Hope you enjoy the small selection of shots I took, belive me I enjoyed taking them…..managed to fill 9 GB of cards in a few hours.

I was informed (very enthusiastically) that this is Iberia’s newest aircraft.

Threshold of 25R

Never heard of this airline, however it was operating a Lufthansa service.

Sun beginning to set created some fantastic lighting and a chance to practice in manual mode
