Hi All,
The weather was not with us (again) today, so 6 shots is all I have to offer from today, but we were treat to a rather superb takeoff from a Cathay Pacific Cargo 747! Enjoy!





Nice meeting up again, Lance, and thanks for the company Mr Morley!

Now something completely different, at least in terms of the medium used! I know so many photographers who’ve made the transition from using film to digital. I wanted to know what it was like going the other way, so I found a Canon film SLR on eBay for 20 quid, loaded it with film and took it to MAN. These are scanned from the prints I had done today. Not the greatest quality scans (and yes, I’ve cheated and done a bit of playing with them in Photoshop!) But nonetheless I thought it might be interesting to show a few shots taken in a slightly more traditional way.
Taken with an EOS 1000F, Tamron 28-300 XR Di Macro and standard Boots ISO 200 film.



Now where did I put that 30D? 🙂

Found a few more! turns out I have more from that day than I first thought. Always nice when that happens! 🙂





And finally, a slight re-working of the Cathay Pacific cargo 747 departing…

Thanks for your comments so far guys!

Excellent shots, Paul.

Excellent as ever, mate! The FlyGlobespan 767 really is a cracking looking machine, and love the first Cathay shot!
Cheers for the company, also. 🙂
