Heat Hazed Glasgow 15-07-07

Well its about time we got a bit of good/hot weather. Headed to Glasgow where we were faced by a verocious heat haze which always isn’t good for the photos. Anyway this is what I saved from a smashing day out with Rab and a few other photographers at Glasgows 05 touchdowns point.

Some nice shots there Jamie. A lot of these “bits of planes” shots don’t work … it is all the rage these days with the digi folk and a lot of the time they don’t review the results to see if they really work. The Onur Air WORKS!
Just right there with the smokey action. I’m still chasing that green FlyBE Dash 8. Much of the time WORK gets in the way but on Sunday the River Festival got in the way. Also haven’t shot the Virgin at GLA. That would have been good getting out on 05 in the sun. Call me a slacko then. 🙂

What file sizes are your pics, it took me ages to view them all and that’s with a fast broadband connection…? Anyone else finding the site slow generally just now ?

Great shots Jamie.

The TCD is actually a 747-300 and not a 200. Lol

very nice shots jamie clear crisp and in focus, the close up shot of onur is spot on, the only negative thing i noticed is in some of your shots mate they are not straight but hey thats just me WELL DONE.
