well here is a shot from our house, of just one of many a/c that fly right over, i have got a new(read second hand) fujifilm s3000 finepix digital camera, still learning the camera, and it doesn't help that it keeps turning off, i think it is that i am not using new batteries in it,

but anyways

here is the pic
emirates 777 (ithinks)


enjoy

i will be adding more pics as time allows and as the camera allows!!!

that's actually quite a good picture

Great place to live! (if you're into planes I guess!) Nice shot.

Nice Jas- I remember being surprised at how low the jets were coming over Raphoe. What altitude are they at, around 1000 feet?

Wow cool shots Jason

Wish i lived somewhere like that it must be so much fun to just look up and watch then fly over your head.

Keep them coming.

Sup shots Jas , show's good compare between the 340 and 747 in respect to bulk , fuse size , Great pics

Good to see that Qantas 743 too!

Holy! they fly low!

Do you get troubled much by them??

Nice Shots!

yeah they do fly low, and rather slow too, i can hear the heavies coming and run ouyt with the camera ready to go as they go over, the a 320's and 737',s are a bit quicker, i have to be quick of the make to get them overhead, and the saabs, atrs, dash 8s and beeches are too fast for me most times!!! i have the camera set at its max zoom as they fly away, but i have it about 1/2 way zoomed when they fly overhead. they are properly about 900-1000 feet, if that on some days

careful with the dust mate....

here is another set of pictures

this was taken form wiri station road












enjoy, some of the darker pics show dust spots, there is dust on the inside of the lens, which i cannot get to any ideas, i cannot pull the lens apart as it is a sealed unit that i cannot get into
