I said that the viewing area with the mesh fence is bad for video, not still photography. Some of the photos I took on here were taken from the spectators area. The problem here starts when you are video-ing an aircraft from the terminal to take off. You need to move around alot to keep the aircraft in the frame, and keep having to adjust focus to blur out the mesh of the fence if you want to get the aircraft in the centre of the film. If I could transfer my VHS video to the computer I could show you what I meant because I had that problem back in July 2000 when I was making a video of a Sabena 737 from the terminal to its take off.
By the way the photos were taken on 8th June, but I had some problems with the uploading and so was only able to put them on now.
And thanks for the comments.
