DTW 2.24.08 *56K NO*

Well, I had a great weekend this week spotting wise. I went spotting on both Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately I haven't had any editing time, and still have to edit a lot from last weekend. I decided to do a few from Sunday. I didn't get to go through all my shots to find the best ones, so I just choose a few. Gotta love that late afternoon Mac Deck light!

I'm sure there will be more later when I get to editing them, as well as some shots from Saturday!

I love the light on the afternoon departures! Nice silhouette shot of the A330 there.

Thanks Gordon

Oh, forgot to mention, We went into the Smith terminal to eat and I hear over the PA "The checkpoints are now open, please make your way to them in an orderly fashion so we can get everyone re-screened as quickly as possible", apperently they evacuated due to a faulty x-ray that they didn't notice for 10 minutes so they actually had to bring planes back to the gate and deplane everyone to re-screen. That was interesting, and after that, around 5:15, we saw the fire brigade line up next to runway 21L at their various spots and in comes a CRJ with no flaps, he comes in hot, nice landing, slams the breaks, fire brigade follows down the runway etc.

Here are some emergency shots, the fire brigade wasn't in a tight formation, there were about 5 fire trucks, 3 ambulances, and 3 fire pick up trucks and a police car:

Senga

which one? The one at the gate? The one at the gate wasn't, that was almost completely dark. High shutter speed, High ISO, low app. and lots of photoshop haha

Great shots Matt!!

Good Work Matt. The light is really nice :borat:
