Agree, the photos are sharp and the exposure pefect on them clapping.gif

Whatever camera you are using, you know how to use it, and the results speak for themselves. Good inspiration to us all.

smooth landings.

Thanks guys tongue.gif

I use a Canon 550D and had a 55-250mm IS f/4-5.6 equipped. It a rather cheap lens but does the trick!

Hi leow5263 I was there this afternoon - and I think I saw you - were you crouching down at the very end of the runway by the fence?

I will post some of my pics up too later I came in through Wellington on NZ335 at 9:30AM and flew out again on NZ8182 to Wellington then on to Nelson man were the landings interesting in these winds! drool.gif

Cheers
