Thurs and Fri..Glasgow,LCY,LTN,MAN (long post…for a long couple of days)

Bored at GLA on thursday afternoon, shot the RAF 125, then decided to try some very long distance shots,taken from several miles away (quality very dubious,sorry):

Thanks for the comments,guys. I love LCY also, just a shame that the spot where i took most shots is facing into the sun (on a sunny day!!) My only gripe was i’ve been dying to shoot the SAS 146 and the one i get is only partial coloured 😡
Allen… a very handy abode indeed for 05’s 🙂
talking of all the US stuff that used to frequent, i read today in one of the newsgroups an article in the Scottish Travel Agency News the strongest hint yet that NW will start Detroit -GLA summer 08.

Nice to see my old abode at the Millarston high rise flats in those shots. Years ago I’d sit at my kitchen window and watch approaches to 05 through my binoculars. Happy memories of all the US and Canadian stuff when they switched from PIK to GLA in the early 90’s.

And the car park in the sky, scene of many a ‘popped cherry’.;)

Hi Peter
It’s from the car park at Robinson Park in the Gleniffer Braes (Car park in the sky), was using the 75-300 and 2x converter, on the tripod, but, quite a bit of wind, so very hard to get a steady shot.
Oohhh get you with the D400 :dev2: :dev2: , nice one, enjoy.

thanks scotty

another nice selection there

regards
