condensation visible starting leading edge of wing to midway down where it
dissipates! there's the OM content: 200/4 wide open w/ 2x-a tc slight crop on
the right, superia 400, om1n, handheld at 1/60 or
1/125 (i'm getting good at handholding that sucker), JFK delta terminal, late
afternoon august 1 2000. BA747-4xx, lifting off with another ~700 feet of
runway left, looks like. for those in the know, is
that normal run or was this lightly loaded (or the cool air helped shorten the
run)?
on approach, if you view from the side or the rear (plane heading away from
you) you can see vortices coming off the wingtips. it is TOTALLY awesome. alas,
i don't get to much aero photography since
there are no decent airports around, and the few times i had to go to lax was
post 11 sep with no access to any decent viewpoint..
http://www.airliners.net has the best collection. get yourself somwhere with
broadband, and spend hours looking thru the photos. man that place is swEEET
