Rom, it was good to actually get to introduce myself today. You got some nice captures there. I hope you made it home ok without your battery dying on you again. Was good to hang out with Eric, Jason, Akie, and Mark as well.

Here are a few of mine that I have edited so far. Decent amount of specials today. I can't help but think that Matt helped us out with the clear skies and special liveries. Thanks Matt!

Awesome shots Steve! I like how the snow make those birds look extra special. It was nice meeting you! Thanks for your concern, I did make it home ok. Argh, can't believe I missed the beardy Virgin because I left for 3 minutes to buy stupid cigarettes! Here's one more reason to quit: spotting!

Oh man...yeah, I'd have been tripping over people to get out of the store to get a shot of beardz.

I can't believe I forgot to add this to my set.....the whole reason I stayed all day instead of returning to the office.....guess its two straight weeks without a day off now...

Awesome shots, Guys!!!!!! My last visit at JFK was on March 19, 2007. I know it has been a looooooong time. :-) So, I would love to go to JFK someday.

John

Good times today, everyone!

OMG, it was great! Normally I don't really like shooting during midday since the light is usually pretty harsh and you get blown out tops and underexposed bottoms, but I LOVE shooting midday after it snows. The light bounce was incredible, especially on the AA birds.

I was only planning on popping out for about 2 hours, but one thing let to another and a few specials popped up on the radar, so I came out earlier than expected and stayed later than I originally wanted to. See ya in March!

Great shots by everyone.... lots of specials.....

For sure Steve.

Excellent day for spotting (even though it was cold), and seeing everyone! Finally got around to a few images. All the images below were taken with the 300mm f/2.8 + 1.4x teleconverter. Now to work on the remaining images.

Superb shots, Mark, Manny, Akie. Manny, I was originally going to Bayswater and felt SO relieved when liveatc started saying "cleared to land 31R". Man, I bet Bayswater was bitchy cold, as you'd call it :tongue:
