hope its a bit sunnier when I visit on the 10th August !!
A bit of googling brings up Flynordic LF885 Stockholm-Dublin on a Thursday, mystery solved!! Thanks to everyone who took an interest!!
Shame you didnt snag the BMI ERJ145 I was on that landed at 1305!!
Where did you go for those angles btw?
Out to EDI for me tomorrow!!
theres restricted access for cars at Ingliston just now, so, I went over turnhouse, then it got cloudy so came home, will try and fit a visit in tomorrow to Ingliston
regards

FlyNordic ?

good one, looks a bit like this one

wonder where it was going? Heading along the Forth valley east to west, not too long before was a Finnair A319, must be DUB?
Well it looks to be an MD-80, but not sure which airline it could be. It could also be a military VC10 as it does not have many markings on it. If it is a VC10, it might be the same one that xpboy saw whilst he was at NCL!
defenitely an MD, I thought Spanair but it doesnt look right
Cracking pics there, the BY 757 looks awesome, and a 56Squadron Tornado from Leuchars, great selection!!

cheers, so your sticking with those settings eh?
Probably use ISO 200 the most, seems the best comprimise between quality and shutter speed, ISO100 on special days when its sunny, which isnt often here?
excellent shots as usual, what settings did you use robert?
Camera was set “P” and switched between ISO 200 and 400, weather was lousy, started off bright then went back to being overcast and dull :confused:
You tried panning shots? I find that a well executed photo at 1/30th is a whole lot more interesting and challenging that a well executed photo at 1/300th.
I am a great fan of panning shots, with my new lense (Sigme 70-200 2.8 EX HSM) it requires a bit more practise for really good results but with my old lense (Sigma 70-300 4.5-5.6 APO) I routinely hit 1/60th.
When are you going to AMS?
My local airport needs the right conditions for panning shots, although I’ve taken a few over the years and agree its a skill that needs practice, will be visiting AMS on 10th August for about 12 hours, just hope it doesnt rain
Excellent photos!
What does the ISO do? The higher the ISO level the blurrier the image, according to my cameras manual.
Well without being too technical, ISO can be related to “sensitivity” to light, a low number is a lot less sensitive, a high number a lot more sensitive, so, if you select a low ISO number the shutter need to stay open longer to let enough light in to produce an acceptable result, the bummer being long shutter speeds can result in blurry images due to camera shake, its preferable to use a high shutter speed or stuff will appear blurry, the down size of using a high ISO is that the picture will start to appear more “grainy”, so, its down to personal choice but I prefer to use ISO 200 under normal conditions, normal being dull and over cast at EDI, but, I have noticed that sometimes, and I mean sometimes if its sunny here (EDI) then using a low ISO is ok, but occaisionally white or very light fuselages are just obliterated, so I wanted to see by using a very fast shutter speed (by upping the ISO or sensitivity) if it would help, and my results for EDI today have shown me that stuff has come out better by adjusting the ISO, I’ve also tried “stopping” down the aperature to compensate for really sunny days but wasn’t happy with the results. ISO 100 is a cracking setting for quality but sometimes cant produce a fast enough shutter speed for my liking
Nice photos.
Why did you get such a high aperture rating? F11-16 is rather high for a sunny day. F6-8 should have done nicely, with ISO 100 or 200.
I decided to select the ISO, normally I use 100 or 200, but then again its normally dull and overcast, anyway, I wanted to see just how grainy pics would come out today by “upping” the ISO, even I was surprised how good they came out and I’m using a cheap lense as well !! your’e right but like I said today was a day for a couple of experiments!! and with a trip to AMS and one to FRA coming up I’d rather experiment at EDI than those 2 nice airports!!
Ace pictures from my local(ish) airport. Did you see the early morning Easyjet?
Nah, I only stopped off on the way from Inverurie, it was nice weather and its the first time I’ve used the spot I did, will certainly return!!
nice pics, i guess you use your camera on the M setting? or is it the S setting
🙂
Use it on the “P” setting , I think!! The setting where it chooses tghe shutter speed and aperature, the user chooses the ISO etc, of intrest to me was that even banging up the ISO on a sunny day didnt produce too much grain.
RIght lads – my flights are booked!!! PM me for my mobile if you fancy a beer and some spotting on Friday 28th! 😀
Chris, i can’t guarantee if I can make EDI but i’ll try, look out for a French estate car, reg plate begins MK54

Nice find how did you get so close or did you zoom in ?
If your asking about the “chopper”, well Glenrothes is a very small airfield, everything is very close, all the others were taken at Edinburgh from areas beside the runway.
