For those of you here that are in Southern California, I was wondering if you had any good spots for shooting at SNA, LAX, or LGB?
I've done some shooting at SNA in the past, but usually in a parking lot across the freeway in a business center. I've tried getting up close to get some landing shots, but they have that place blocked off pretty good with bushes and/or buildings.
Long Beach is a really cool airport, since I've seen quite a few C-17s and F/A-18s taking off/landing there. I've also heard of B-1 bombers landing there on occasion. I know you can get pretty close to the planes here. Is there a spot that you can recommend?
And LAX. Hmm. Does anyone shoot here? I can't imagine them being friendly to photographers here, but I could be wrong. They get the big birds flying through here and I wanted to get some shots without being hassled. Is it worth it at this airport? Thanks.
