Default A Few O'Hare Shots
The poor weather of Chicago's winter finally broke, and the winds finally blew out of the west, a meteorological characteristic primarily of the warmer months in Chicago. Here are some of today's shots -


American N39364 with Winglets by KORDspotting, on Flickr


Bok-a-plane! by KORDspotting, on Flickr


Aer Lingus A330 "St. Aoife" by KORDspotting, on Flickr


United N57863 (New Colors) by KORDspotting, on Flickr


Swiss HB-IQQ by KORDspotting, on Flickr


Royal Jordanian A340-200 by KORDspotting, on Flickr


United 777 (New Colors) by KORDspotting, on Flickr

Enjoy! Full set here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/kordspo...7626520039760/

Very nice shots mate! Everythings so crisp, I've never shot flying planes but I'd imagine you need quite a telephoto ? Really love the bokeh shot as well!

Thanks! Depending on where you shooting from, a telephoto may or may not be necessary. At this particular location, the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS or 55-250mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Nifty-two-fifty works just fine. To get the crisp shots, I shoot in manual, making sure there is a fast shutter speed and a stopped down aperture, such as f/8. I let the camera choose ISO. I then sharpen and mask them up in Lightroom, and voila!

Care to share your spot. I like beeline drive but the straight on shots get old sometimes.

All nice shots, but I like the "Bok-a-plane" the best. It's an original view, while I've seen many similar to the other typical views.

No. This was my first spotting trip with my new nifty two fifty - the EF-S 55-250mm.

Thanks everyone!

I was expecting photos of O'Hare airport ... even though that isn't the case, your airliner pictures are great.

Good shots; that Jordanian Air flight is particularly striking, though.
