Hi all
wednesday saw me coarsing through the motorways of England. First stop:
Sheffield: (always amazed at the fantastic ramp at this wee airport,and all you see on it is spam 😀 )


Next up, down the M1 a bit to…
EMA (sorry..Nottingham East Midlands Airport):






shame about the fence at this point.
More on the way…………..

thanks! 🙂 what zoom is required for the shots from near the flying club and the BMI hanger?
Adam. I use an 80-300mm which is actually a bit too much, from the car park i’d imagine good runway shots are possible too, the L100 full frame was shot using my 25-75mm at about 50mm.
Thanks again for the comments guys. and yes Phil, shattered, as i had got home tuesday morning at 4am from Ipswich, up at 7 to work all day,home to catch the footy then off to Warrington at 11pm, couple of hours kip in the van,job done then off to Sheffield etc… got back to Glasgow at midnight last night. (now hoping for a possible wee work jolly to Budapest tonight,does’nt look too likely, already missed out on a job to Munich this morning 😡 😀 )

Thanks lads
Adam; The AN124 and DHL were shot from near to the flying club at a small car park overlooking the DHL ramp, The rear view of the AN26 ,just round from there near the BMI hangar, the L100 from a road that leads to 2 long stay car parks (at a security checkpoint access gate) the 737 from behind a business park which overlooks the runway end. Hope that helps,not too sure of EMA places, i tend to look at roads that appear near to a perimeter fence on my sat nav and head for them at airports i am unfamiliar with.
