This morning I met up with Daniel and his mate at the airport. I took my camera along; so snapped a few aircraft.

Dash prepping for departure

Lining up runway 36

There were a couple of CTC aircraft around; CTV and CTX...

...as well as the Vincent Dash which is going to stay the night

EUD was going back and forth, a busy Saturday morning for it

And in come the Boeings, first Qantas

And 15mins later, Air New Zealand

Thats it.

Great Shots Alex.

Also look at the position of the vincent dash 8s nose wheel!
I am told that the Dash 8 is off tomorrow with some Australians on a charter to Napier.
Victor-alpha-Charlie might know more about this.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm using a Canon Eos 350D, the ones posted here are using a 55-250mm lens with a stock UV filter (except for the last which was taken with an 18-55mm Lens; no filter). It was the first real time I'd tried out that lens; it worked well. :thumbup:

Hamish, yea, Dan filled me in on it. :lol:

So Now it becomes so clear why the shots are so good

by **Anthony** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 8:50 pm

Oh I see. That does explain the great shots.

Are you happy with it as a camera? (I only ask because I'm looking into new cameras again now).

Cheers

Well, the 350D is pretty near the bottom of the Canon D-SLR product-range... :lol:

Yea, I'm pretty happy with it; although I find that the pictures turn out a lot better if you do some minimal 'post-processing' (i.e. run it through photoshop and tweak the levels/contrast). I can't really think of anything I could complain about with it though.

Hey, the bottom of the Range Cannon D-SLR has to be better than my Pansonic FZ8
