Great shots!

The night shots of the Portugal airliner are my favorite... you got a nice "prop blur" on those too! ;)

Nice. When you can, a bit more room at the front of the A/C would be good.

Nice shots. A good variety, and all interesting. Looks like you nailed the exposure on the night shots.

Ha! Thankyou! They're mostly from Manchester Airport but the night ones are from Funchal, Madeira.

Thankyou for your comments so far, all. Very much appreciated. :)

#1 would be much better with a lot more sky, and a lot less fence.

In general terms I agree, but unfortunately some of the aviation websites I upload to don't agree. I'd rather have a little bit of fence in the way and have the photo accepted onto Jetphotos than get a rejection for the aircraft not being centred. Then again, it just depends on how you intend to use the photo. The fence isn't all that attractive, I have to agree!

Hi Paul;

Nice series... US Air & Singapore are bang on - very effective...

It's a shame that Manchester is so far for me... it's just about the best place to go now... Birmingham isn't bad - but not much in the way of "heavies", while Heathrow is almost a no go area now...

Cheers;
Lee

And that, in a nutshell, is why those photo websites as mentioned above, would not know what a good photograph is, even if it slapped them silly in the face.:D

And again to a degree I couldn't agree more. I've had many an argument as to whether the artistic merits of a photo are more important than it having an absolute level of technical 'correctness' but I think shooting aviation and uploading to those sites is a very good way to get many technical aspects of photography right. I probably spend roughly half my time shooting aviation on digital and the other half shooting other, more scenic things on digital and film. It's nice to have a balance and I find the technical aspects help the artistic and vice versa, but everyone's an individual and has different ideas. I know if I hadn't started shooting aviation early on and getting rejections from various sites I wouldn't know as much as I do now. I just hope that knowledge helps me in other areas! :)
