First attempt

[Splitpin]

Hi team,
Just thought i would share a first attempt at ground to air shots.....as if you couldn't tell at least these have aircraft in them.....at the start i had a great collection of tail cones, radome's, and fresh air. I'm using an old Sony cyber shot.....not much room for fine tuning, pretty much point and click, but a good learning tool.
Gavin, Anthony and all you other contributers, thanks very much for the inspiration.....cheers.

Now i just hope they upload ok......thanks for looking .....oh, the last one is an intentional cloud shot....looked like concorde....or is it just my medication

Cheers

Nice ! I see a Concorde too, and I do like the vapour trails off of the flaps in the last plane shot - never seen that before

Waka, when i put them on the computer they are real big.....i must have missed a re-size option at photobucket.
Thanks for looking.

Albatross, not yesterday....i think about 2 weeks ago now, it was just one of those super blue days.Tried to catch it again today, but he got in before i could get out there.
Thanks anyway for looking.

Thanks Anthony, will try and make them a bit bigger next time, and...yes, if only it a concorde.
I think the last one to visit chc was an Air France one, i was lucky enough to have about 10mins on board prior to departure.....courtesy of a friend at ANZ.....Ahhh, the good old pre 9-11 days.

Cheers Dask77....it was strange, it just formed like that quite fast....then broke up, just happened to be looking that way at the right time.
