Lol ok then matt, will do what i can. Not many BA 757’s left flying around now, so hopefully I’ll get it right first time! Looks like I may be going next Monday now instead, but whenever I do, you’ll see them on here.

Thanks very much! 😀

Perhaps you could possibly get one of those type shots of a BA757. If you could, I would love to use it as a desktop.

I’ll be looking out for a BA 757, and trying my hardest to get one for you Matt! Do you mean one like the 2 FR photos at the end, or like the close-up on the Buzz one before them?

what zoom have you got on that camera mate

36-290mm 🙂

Thanks you very much for the comments Andy and Matt, good to see some of you like ’em! Ok well I should be at LHR next Sunday Matt, so I’ll try for many more of those angles with some hopefully more exciting planes! 😀

Very nice collection of shots there, particularly like the Q400’s. Look very smart!

Great work there, the heat haze must be very hard to work with. The last wing view shot is very nice.

Very nice selection of shots there, all i can say is keep trying. I had a very cheap camera before, and spent nearly 6 months trying to perfect my arrival shots. It was through all that practice, that now I have a better camera I am finding it even easier to produce a set of nice shots.

Just for a bit of encouragement, this is my first arrival shot I ever took 😮

Thanks for the comments.

Yes that is pretty much the only spot, it’s quite ridiulous down here. As you saw in the Britannia and Jet2 photos I had to move over to the other side once the sun was coming from the other angle, but that is about the only way you can move. There is a similar spot down at the other end when the aircraft are using RWY05, and another spot parallel to the runway. However, the spot parallel to the runway is quite far away, and you can only really produce good departure shots with a 400mm lens.

very good pics, what happened with the police?

Ah just the usual argument about where we can and cannot ‘gather’, and the fact that it is a public footpath means they have no right to move me.

And finally just a few close-ups. First one is of the same GSS 744F, looks strange from this angle doesn’t it?!

There were many more interesting things such as an Air Adriatic MD, and a Maersk 737 in new livery but the photos were spoilt in the rain showers. Think it’ll put a bit of a dampener on the quality, so wont bother posting them!

P.S. Can anyone even have a wild guess on the trailing A340, cos I dont have a clue! Appeared to have a blue/black tail, white/grey belly with a little bit of black overlap from the tail on the rear fuselage.

And the price? 😀

Thanks for the comments everyone, I shall be up there again today trying it out! Look out for results later.

Now the price is the unbelievable bit. I paid under £200 after searching around a bit on the net. There was a news article on a Digital Photography website about the newly released camera, and it was supposedly a more advanced update on the Z1. I looked up photos from the Z1 on airliners/net and was quite happy with what I saw, so took the gamble and went for this one! Very pleased that I did now, the results were much better than i was ever dreaming of. Suppose a lot of it comes down to the photographer too :p

Nice collection of shots there, was it you who used the Minolta Z1?
