Well as an aircraft fan as i am, i must love the image Patti, the detail in this Virgin Jumbo is great, (one minor critic, the horzontal fin is just outside the image but could be edited straight in, for the rest i do like it a lot ! ) Seeing you took the shot against a perfect blue sky, the lightmeter must have worked overtime here, and although a hard shot to take under this condition, all detail on the bottom still shows. Did you use stops to underlight, or did you use your gamma correction to get it this way ?

yes I was a bit disappointed I cut off the tip of the tail Hans, but I was quite pleased with the whole image! :) and no I do not wear earplugs, I have double glazing and I am so used to the sound that I do not notice it! ;)

At least if they're just takin' off they won't be droppin' any "blue ice" on ya. LOL I like this one Patti, just move it over and clone a small piece of tail on it if it bothers ya. :)

So why didnt you hop on at the last minute and come over to see us across the pond here Patti?? You could ask them to land in Johns back yard! LOL Good shot of this sleek looking aircraft! C):-)

Wow Patti, the noise must be something else, fabulous capture.

Do you buy tickets ? Are do you get there early an stowaway ? LOL. Super shot of that Big Virgin. I mean airlines of course. Blush, Blush !

Great capture Patti. I can see every little detail of this jet. The colors are amazing in this.

Couldn't be much clearer if you were standing at the end of the runway (of course, over here, Homeland Security would be carting you away). Looks like advertisement quality to me. Super job.

I always find the sight of an airplace ascending in the sky so inspiring and beautiful. Fantastic clarity and details on this super shot Patti. :)

very well captured Patti for something that moves, has it one way ticket to the sun:)) lol

Makes you wonder how they fly! eh!...

great shot of it though!....

This shot is bound to get the plane buffs salivating (sorry Hans!). It's nice and sharp, I love the angle, and that's quite a lens you've got (or quite a high house!).

Terrific!!! A very very goodd shot in all aspects.I KNEW you are a stewardess.........

HEY! I just looked at this again.....are those bombs I see on underside??? I know you get po'd at my comments at times, but Really!!

Goodness you are close to the airport aren't you. A terrific capture with perfect clarity and nice composition. Very well done.

Gorgeous shot,very sharp and with Superb composition..Love it..

great shot Patti, what a superb lens you must have ;o)

I try to write very loud, since I am sure, you have something with your ears. Smile. Very good closeup, your zoom works perfect and you shot in the perfect moment.

WOW! What can I add to these comments? OH - what time does
your plane arrive? I want to be sure an be there to meet it?

;-)

Definitely let us know when you're coming, Patti...the gang will all be there to meet you..you'll know us, of course, the ones with all the cameras hanging around our necks or pointing at one of our fave Caedesian Ladies!!! Great shot.

Great shot. Living in Orlando, I happen to ride near the airport from time to time and am always amazed when I see one of those monsters take off. Makes me want to travel somewhere.

Love the shot. Taken at quite an unusual angle, great detail.

Very good expousure on this shot Patti...and terrific detail...must be LOUD...gerry

Is a great shot, in the past I was living near the Oporto Airport too, isn't bad at all we get use with the noise, living near a train station is much worse
