At this stage it had been a year and a half since I had arrived in Japan, and I had not flown anywhere in that time. In Nagaokakyo where I live, we pretty much only see vapour trails, we don't see the planes up close. Anyway at this stage I had booked my first trip back to Australia (August 2010), but it was still a few months off...
So dreaming about flying somewhere, I took a trip out to the airport on a beautiful May Sunday afternoon. I was the first time and only time (as of 12/09/2011), I've gone all the way from Nagaokakyo to Kansai Airport without meeting someone or sending them off. This trip was purely for photographic purposes. It was also a good chance to test out the D700 famed low light capabilities. Click here to see a photo and the two next ones in that gallery taken on the same day, that are examples of some low light action shots I made on this visit to Kansai Airport.
Note 12/09/2011: Today's a quieter day in the middle a very busy couple of weeks, so this might be my only PBLOG until next week when it quietens down considerably. Actually next week is Silver Week (a week in September with two, sometimes three, public holidays) not quite as good as Golden Week in April/May with 4 public holidays in a space of a week.
