July 21 2006:
Airbus over Farnborough

Went “over the back” to see what I could see of the Farnborough Air Show this afternoon. It takes place in a fairly urban area and parking is difficult, but I did find a recreation ground to shoot from. But the skies were hazy and the atmosphere sticky, so I didn’t stay long. And the shots were not too clever from there.

But I did manage to catch this Airbus A340-600 banking during its display.

This one did an impressive display on Sunday - I guess it helps not being loaded with passengers and baggage!

Nice catch, the B&W works well. Emphasises the length of this beast, it's the longest passenger airliner.

I thought you were also airborne shooting down from above.
Very nicely done. Vote.

These look great in black and white - I think it makes them look more at one with the environment.

Yes, very well done. You even managed to get a little ray of light on the plane ;-)

Nce clean shot. When I was in Toulouse last year one scared the heck out of me when it flew low over the hotel!

good capture and perfect presentation. I live a coupl eof miles from the runway and I've heard far more than I've seen
