“did you used a big zoom : 400-500mm”
Used a 100-400 IS L. Mainly between 225-400mm. Camera is a 30D.

I’m off to Peru for 2 weeks on Saturday so if its before the 8th May I won’t be in London. I’ll be in MAN tho 3-7 May.
Flying KLM to AMS then AMS to Lima on Sat. Then a few days later flying LAN Peru to Curzo (looks a great airport), 11000ft up I think it is!
So should be a KLM T7 and a LAN A320. Fingers crossed for some good shots, although its not an aviation holiday!

the malaysian was from Tesco but I don’t like the angles you get there.
The rest were from elsewhere 😉
And there I was for a minute thinking that I had finally found your shooting location. GGRRRR. 😡 :p :rolleyes:

Nice one Fellas, the malaysian was from Tesco but I don’t like the angles you get there.
The rest were from elsewhere 😉
Got the Etihad 777 banking but the side of it just has a strip of sun which blows out a thin strip all the way down the a/c, shame! this one!

By: T5 - 16th April 2007 at 20:30
Excellent shots. 🙂
The Etihad 777-300ER is the best of the lot for me. I’ve been on three of their 777s (A6-ETA, A6-ETB & A6-ETC). They are such powerful pieces of kit.

Stunning shots. Absolutely beautiful. 😎 You really are the master of these 09R climb out shots. Are they taken just by Tesco’s?
