Well... she finally came to Brisbane... be it all of an hour late.

I was part of the media group and had tarmac access when the aircraft flew in. Michael was also with me and owes me a carton of guinness for getting him there :)

The first part of our bus trip saw us drive the entire way around the airport from the southern side to the northern. We then stopped the bus outside of the public viewing area and took a few snapshots of the people that had gathered:

This is Michael with his sigma 70-200 and d70s:

And here are some of the journalists, photographers, and camera crew:

A380 shots will be in another thread.

Nice collection of shots, seems like there was a fair turn out.
My favourite shot is the last one, I like the framing and use of differential focus.

nowhere near the amount of people were there for the takeoff this morning.... at a guess i'd say only around 100ppl at the viewing platform ..

cheers

I'm hoping Melbourne will be fairly quiet tomorrow as it's a Monday (work day for some).
