Some Aviation Photography

[Dr.Fritz]

I went to the airport a few days ago and snapped off 2 rolls of film. So here are a few of the pictures I took.

I was at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Seattle. There are two places where I got these pictures. There is an underpass at the South end of the airport under one of the main runways and out in front of it is where I got part of these pictures. The other is at the north end at a airplane food parking lot. Just even with the landing planes.

Well these are my pictures. The quality isnt that great, but next time I go I am going to call the Alaska Airlines Air Cargo facility and see if they will let me use their area to let me take pictures even with the runway. Please tell me what you think aside from the bluriness as this was my first time taking aerial pictures.

Thanks for viewing!

Awnser me this: do yuo get pissed if planes do change of shape? More like the deltawings, etc?

Do you mean if the wings move. Or if planes evolve. I dont really get pissed. I like seeing different styles if thats what you mean.

Can i suggest you get a digital camera. you can do so much more stuff with it. also you can upload the pics right to you pc.

anyway good pics, i just wish they werent so grainy and should be more crisp.

[PanAm]

wow your good with planes, they all look near same to me, how did you now the where they were going?

i almost saw a single prop comuter plane land without its gear down sunday, he was coming down and i saw him out the window, and i was like "aw shit, hes gonna crash", but as he got to the end of the runway he throttled up all the way and had to loop back around the airport to land

Were you using manual focus? If you were, I never quite got the hang of manually focusing and panning at the same time. Maybe my lenses are getting too old or my eyesight is getting worse...

Pretty good job considering the lighting conditions. Wish I was able to identify planes like that.

I had a radio with me in the car. I knew where they were going by knowing that Northwest A330's usually go to Europe/Amesterdam just like the old DC-10's before them.

@czech speacil forces, I took those pictures with a camera from the 80's. My digital camera wont zoom as far as those pics are. I want a good one tho.
/wants.
