Love that last shot!!

@wilag – yes, so they are, shows that my aircraft recognition aint up to much 😀

Yes, was happy to see that KLM 738 operating out in the morning yesterday, nice to see.

Couple of others below.

Cheers again

Great shots! I love the KLM 738 shot! 😀

Is that definitely a 738? Do KLM have any E190s? :confused:

Ian

Oh that is definately a 738!! The E190’s are supposed to be coming next year, but to KLM Cityhopper.

Yup! Its definatley a 738. Allong with the 734 and the 733 they operate the first 2 flights of the morning from NCL to AMS then its KLC for the rest of the day!

I dont think KLM operated the E190.

Awesome to the the KLM 738’s serving NCL! Gourgous aircraft on the outside and inside!

Lovely pics, just to be picky the Air Canada and KLM are A330s, not T7s:)

Great shots from the local!

Cheers for the replies, guys.
Another 3 engined airliner (think it was an L1011) passed over minutes after the World MD, but i managed to completely destroy that shot lol

That last shot would be a World Airways MD-11…..

Great effort with a compact!! The Easy pig is cracking.
Great work.

I was please with that one too.
Thanks for the comments on the site, too.

Anyone noticed the arrival boards @ Newcastle? Heard on PPRuNe that there was something wrong with the runway? Anyone know anything further on that?

Adam

I think the last shot of the Flyjet 757 is great mate.

Nice website you got going there aswell .

Thanks guys!

James,
Welcome to the Forum.

Considering you were using a ‘point & shoot’ camera these pictures aren’t that bad. You’ve got some good pictures from some good angles (I like the TOM 757 climbing).

With a little bit of photo editing it is amazing how you can transform an image. Keep up the good work! Just practice & experiment

Adam

Hi James,

It’s actually quite difficult to criticise the great majority of aviation shots like these taken on point and shoots because it simply isn’t what they’re designed to be used for. If they were on a DSLR with a fairly hefty telephoto lens it would be a different case, but there are a couple of things you can bear in mind to hopefully help you get the best out of your camera.

Firstly, you don’t have a great range as far as zoom is concerned on a compact, so to try keep resolution on your side, if you’re shooting an aircraft that’s approaching you try waiting until it’s quite near you before you take the actual shots. The more of the frame the aircraft takes up, the more resolution you have and hopefully the higher quality image you’ll end up with. This may mean you compromise your ideal angle for shooting, but at least you have more chance of getting a sharp, clear shot.

Secondly, try and track the aircraft and keep it in the centre of your viewfinder or screen. This isn’t always easy, but with practice you will get there! Also when you crop, try keep the aircraft balanced in the centre of the frame so the distances from the right of the aircraft to the side of the frame are the same as the left of the aircraft to the other side of the frame. The same also applies to the vertical position.

Thirdly, try keep your shutter speeds as high as possible. You can do this by turning the ISO up, although point and shoots tend to become quite noisy when you do this unfortunately, so you may need to try find a balance. What shooting mode were you using? Did you select Aperture or Shutter priority or was the camera in auto?

Lastly, I hope you don’t mind, but I liked your penultimate image so much I thought it deserved a bit of adjustment and showing off again. 🙂

Hope that helps. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. 🙂

Paul

Thamks very much for the comments made mate, will bear them in mind when i take the rest. 🙂
Yes, the camera was set at Auto, although i now use shutter priority.

As for the wingtip, my editing skills in photoshop are nt up to standard lol, trying to get rid of the raggy edges…
Now re-uploaded to include the wingtip.

Many thanks for the replies,
James
