Takeoff (few more plane pics)

The last of my plane pics i'm gona post And also to ask how do i stick all three together in one image as a sequence in CS2?






Cheers...

Nice Sinkapore pix.

To put them together create a new image in CS2 that is eith 3 times the width or 3 times the height of your original image. Copy & paste each image into the new one as layers. You can scale / transform / move each of the layers as required to fit into your new picture

have fun

Great sequence James, perfect!

Thanks guys, i'll give the CS2 thing a crack also

Nice sharp shots!

I'm surprised, in this day and age, you were able to point a 70-200 VR at a plane without being surrounded by Federal Police within a couple of minutes.

Thanks mate

I kept my distance this time. Last time i got a bit close and was told to push on. And the 70-200 does look a little like a rocket launcher

They're great! Its surprising how close you can get to one of world's greatest airports...

You've got somehow something to the exact on this (except different aircraft captured):

How small this world is...

[Pehpsi]

Wow, small world indeed! That's pretty cool

Some very nice shots there, makes me want to go back. Any idea of when it's busy down there? I was there on a friday arvo i think, and there weren't many planes around?

For 747, there are plenty of departures early in the morning, have a look at

Nice series btw,

I went back today for a bit and no planes were taking off going towards La Perouse like last time, any idea why? it was a bit windy, is this why?

I went back today for a bit and no planes were taking off going towards La Perouse like last time, any idea why? it was a bit windy, is this why?

Planes take off and land IN the direction that the wind is blowing FROM. That is, against the winds.

Say, wind direction is blowing from South towards North, normal take-off operations will take place on Runways 16L/R, all heavy type aircrafts will use the longer Runway 16R for take off. The shot I had there was a Boeing 747-400 taking off from 16R.

On the other way around, a Northerly wind will make them take off on Runway 34L/R (that is, the other way around the runway, same pavement). So the larger planes will land/take-off on runway 34L in this case.

Most regional and smaller 737s will use the parallel runway 16L and 34R for take-off and landing, they require shorter distance for this. So as runway threshold is closer to the domestic terminal as well.

Other smaller regionals will be departing and landing mostly on Runway 07/25, as to get a view of this runway you will need to drive around the airport into a abandoned ground with a small hill to get a view of it.

A spot just off to the international terminal, you get a great view of planes landing above your head (literally). They just pass at about ~<500 ft above you... having a 747 flying at 160knots right above you is just a blown off feeling (no pun intended).

Well, that's the gist of it... look at weather and know where they will land/takeoff before heading down to the airport.

Great info mate, thanks

I remember when i took my video camera for the A380 arrival, i parked on foreshore drive and walked to a big hill which was great, i just hope i'll be able to get back in there..

If you ever know when it (A380) will return here, please let me know so i can get down and snap it

Cheers.
