Taking a big camera to a airport must be risky............ oh wait I forgot thats a Canadian airport.

Serious....great shots. My Dad worked in Pearson. What lenses are you using?

The "cheap" 75-300 F4-5.6 III USM.

Nice shots.

I saw that olympic Airbus 340 last time I was there, it was at a good distance and I thought it might be an aeroflot plane. I can see now clearly what it is, thanks.

Would you be willing to give out your post processing recepie for getting such sharp pictures? Usually when I try to sharpen mine up it just dosent come out right, not nice and crisp like yours anyway!

Only thing I dont like on some of your shots is the color of the sky. Is that grey blue due to a polorizer? or just the Canadian sun?

Thanks for shareing, Keep up the good work!

Very nice. the colour of that KLM 747 is just beautiful.

Aeroflot does fly to Toronto, however they use the 767. Post processing wise, I just mess around with levels, USM is at 0.2, repeated 2-3 times until it becomes sharp (without jaggies). About the colour, it was just what it was like all day. I had never seen it like that before, but I liked it because it was something different for a change. At first I thought my post processing was throwing some colours off, however I had 4 friends along and they had the same results.

Cant wait to go back!

Oh, and for the British here ;)

British 747-400 going-around because of a missed approach (way too high and fast)
