KLAX 5/1-5/3/2014

Headed out to LAX this past weekend to finally get a taste of some evening northside spotting. Definitely worth taking two days off from work to fly out for this trip. Only down side was I could not get the China Southern A380 as it came in around 8:00 each night I was out at LAX.

Tried some night shots with the 1Dx from the hotel parking garage well after dark. These shots were taken at 40,000 ISO and 1/80 sec

Nice set Steve!


Rich B

Well done and worth the trip!

Great stuff!

Steve I know you did some noise reduction on those night shots but even so, WOW!!!

I don't believe I've ever seen clear shots of planes flying at NIGHT. We have entered a new age with this ISO performance

I totally agree with William I have never seen such a crisp hand held fast moving subject shot. You know I am going to try this since I now have a new camera and see my noise ninja can get it this clean. Awesome job Steve.

Thanks for all the kind words gentlemen. Just for comparison, this is a "as shot" copy of the Qantas shot above. The only editing done was cropping and resizing.

Yeah, figures they wouldn't have the 787 while I was there.....But I guess it was a good trade-off for it not raining during my visit. Haha!

Thanks Moose! Can't wait to try the high ISO shots from the airport overlook at CLT in 1.5 weeks, if not this weekend if my racing plans don't fall through.
