We had a visit from the Qantas liveried A380 today. She is certainly a large plane.
Luckily I was almost under the flight path and just happened to have my new toy close at hand :D so got a few shots off.

Taken with the 18-70.

18-70 :) You must have been close. It is a big airplane.

Big plane and heavy cropping :) Óh for a 400mm.

This is the full shot of the first one.

I was near the Gateway bridge on the western side. She had her wheels up before she came into my view so they mustn't muck around.

Would have loved to have got a shot of the plane & the bridge together but I was about 10 seconds to late. Damn it!!
