Photos: A week along the fenceline (55 Photos)

[Maikha Ly]

Hi gents (and ladies!)

I'd like to share some shots taken over the past week with periodical visits to the fence of a few afternoons over the past week. In some cases I was after something (707), and either missed it or vaguely got it (E.g. VH-EAG Connie), or just really wanted to spend sometime out there to take advantage of good weather.

Anyhow, the photographs as follows, by date:

Saturday 6th November 2010

Love the scheme on these planes


A very poor quality cropped shot of the Connie, taking off from 34R.

Oh, and this random 707 just shows up. How odd!

Big thanks to Tim Bowrey on this Tuesday, for his guidance and company with finding these spots and the movements of the 707. I owe you big time!

Was good weather when I left work. When I made it to the airport it deteriorated, but at least I got to see a Singapore A380 depart (Albeit empty), uncertain how long before they return.

After the previous afternoon's attempt, I vowed to return out here completely prepared, this time with a ladder and scanner and spend the afternoon out here until dusk. The following were my results.

That pretty much sums it up!

I am still practicing, and certainly I need more refinement with photographing fast moving aircraft. I would greatly appreciate any feedback which can improve these photos, from compositions to editing.
Hopefully the weather clears up a little and some spare time can be found for me to head back out!

Also, pretty much sharing all these pictures has prompted me to open up an account with Airliners.Net or something. However in saying that, am I correct that their screening guidelines are a little strict that would reject most photos that get submitted to them?


Thanks for viewing!

Wh is JT's 707 allows to fly in. Doesn't it come under the marginally stage 3 compliant group

The Virgin Atlantic shot with the cloud formation in the background is just stunning!

Hi Andrew

I think there are exemptions for military/humanitarian/national interest/special interest reasons and are considered on a case by case basis.

So perhaps JT's visit was allowed as a "special interest" -ie visiting for QF's 90th birthday and as the star guest at the Channel 7 Telethon in Perth this weekend.

Cheers

Bob

Nice photos Maikha.

Re airliners.net, their standards are very high, so I also suggest jetphotos.net. They will still reject rubbish, but standards are not as over the top as airliners.net.
