KJFK 1-20-2013

Was good to be back down and hanging out with everyone even if just for a little while with some of you this weekend. Eric, too bad we didn't meet up while I was here. Sergio, was great to finally put a face to the name, and Akie great meeting you as well this weekend.

Here are a few from today's trip to Bayswater and T5

Nice set! Happy to see that the typical Sunday evening Cargolux 748 arrived before sunset.

Steve.......looks like your new glass served you well! The images looks fantastic and I'm glad the weather turned out good. I will work on posting some of my shots later on. Next time you're down here I'll see what I can do about get the Formula 1 to show up :P

Really nice shots Steve. That Korean Air Cargo with the tower behind it is sweet.
How do you like the new lens so far? Sure looks great to me...

Heres some of mine!! It was a bomb today. Kaz, Fred, Mark, Steve, Akie, and my bud Julian it was a great day spotting!

Great shots Steve. The Cargolux is fantastic. What focal length are you using from T5? You make it down here Saturday as well?
I got to the mounds for some late sun shots. No rare birds though.

Don

I was out at FRG in the afternoon for a 738 arrival and then at parking garage T1 later at night.
Wanted to get the THY 777 at push back, which I did, but there was a lot of security milling about.
At one point the guy that retrieves the SmarteCartes parked behind me for a while. I thought he was
trying to detain me but it turns out he was just goofing off. ;)

Don, I must have left the mounds on Saturday just before you showed up. As for T5, I was switching between my 70-200 with 2x TC, my 300mm, and then the 70-200 by itself to get the heavies that taxied past.

Steve, I want to see 600mm shots !!!!! :smile: only one isn't gonna cut it for me :tongue:

Here's a few more @ 600mm for ya Manny...... :tongue:

Superb!!

Thank you Sir!!!

Wonderful stuff, Steve!

I have caught reference to a 300mm lense being used, which lense is this? The F4.0, the F2.8?

adding a few more

Thanks Nick. The 300mm is the f2.8

Did anyone have any security encounters on the T5 parking rooftop yesterday while shooting? Is it cool to just park
and shoot right outside your car?

It was another awesome day with some nice crisp air, but the winds were wicked.

These were taken with the 300mm/f2.8 with a 1.7x teleconverter on the D700 full-frame

Great set guys, enjoyed the viewing.
Mark, you took out the the big Bertha... Love 'em close ups

I still havent had the chance to work on my Interjet shot yet Mark u beat me to it

Thanks Raj! It was time to bring her "Big Bertha" outside for a while, it wasn't easy holding her with those winds. I needed the door to open to block the winds and leaned against the car for some added stability. She is one heck of a lens.

Quality! Nothing but quality output from you guys... I have got to get more days off :tongue:

Manny....we need to setup camp for an over night spotting excursion at the field, but during the summer. Too cold now!

Sorry I missed you again this weekend, Sergio. Eventually you'll visit when I'm free and the damn sun comes out, unlike last time!

security encounters?

I'm curious about this as well (location removed, just in case).

Next logical progression is 500mm + 1.7x. Let's see some 850mm!
