New camera – Gothenburg City airport (Säve)

Thank you all for the encouragement!
One good thing about Säve is that at the northern end of the runway there’s only a 3 foot high fence and there is a road right next to it. Unfortunately for spotters like me, however, a recent newspaper report say that security at the airport is going to be considerably tightened. I personally would not like to see a 9 foot high chain-link fence there with barbed wire on top, but we shall see.
Regarding the pictures, I took about 20 in all, and some were hopeless due to camera shake, the first time I have ever had that problem, but on the other hand I’ve never had a 200 mm lens before! I am also not too sure about the auto-focus, which I set to servo mode (i.e. auto-follow focus) but it’s hard to tell in a few of the pix I took whether it’s shake or focus that’s the problem.
Any tips on reducing camera shake (or perhaps using a different focus setting)?
PS the landing was slightly cross-wind, hence the port wheels touching first.

Great shots! 😀

Great pictures there

At last I have a decent camera! The lenses are Sigma, however, 18-50 mm and 55-200 mm (bought the camera in a package deal), after I get back from Reno in September I’ll start saving up for a 500 mm! Mind you, I need a lot more practice to eliminate camera shake! At my age (62) that’s beginning to be a problem!

fantastic shots!

Love the Ryanair touchdown shot! 😮
