Went to pick up my mum at the airport this-evening, so went and took some shots as well. Really nice evening lighting resulted in some fantastic shots. Also had a little play around with panning and got some pretty decent results, though it was reasonably difficult without IS, but it turned out OK. Anyway, here are the shots.

very nice photos, but PBL is something special!

Thanks mate, had to make it extra special as that was the one my mum was on

amazing .. VIRGIN .. all Boeing's .. all 73s and a Dash of QANTAS

Those are some really great photos, very sharp.

Nice stuff Ben, those panning shots of yours came out really well.

Alex

wat is the hump on top of the 737 700s near the tail?

Sattelite TV attenae I think - very nice shots by the way

Thanks Guys,

Yeah, its a TV antenna for Live TV onboard. Its fitted to all Virgin Blue 737s I think, 700s and 800s.

Those pictures are gold Ben The shots of the Pac Blue birds, PBL and PBG look fantastc.

Pretty boring to me, i mean i can see that all day any way every day man i live about 10km away from YBBN. and yeah uno the 777-300 came there once? it was V Australia. and soon the a380 will be coming plus their building anew runway.

Awesome pics Ben! I particularly like PBL.
saski17, it's good for us Kiwis who aren't at BNE all the time! Plus we can see how good Ben's getting with his photography.

Top shots as always Ben- really like the red reflection in the wing on your first photo though.

Keep them coming!

what camera and lens did you use for these?

Thanks saski17, wise words, wise words (If your not interested, please dont view and/or post comments)
