though i'm not a big fan of Qantas, i love the 3 shots of the Qantas Boeings... nice work

very nicely done

Great captures Raj- you have perfect light conditions in those shots, well done

What camera are you using, you have some great zoom-ins from (I presume) that hole in the fence at the ANZ carpark

Look foward to the next collection!

Thanks Alex, More shots Comming..

Hey Zöltuger, Thanks Mate..We only get Qantas Boeing at AKL..No Airbusses..
hopefully they might sent in a few of their A333 and A332 and some Trans Tasman Flights..

Hey Brownbox, Thanks mate..

Hey Trolly, How have u been??
Thanks..I'm lucky most of the time with light i guess..
Yes, got me a New Camera..A Kodak Z740..Something much better then my previous camera..Not really the holes, but the Gaps in between the fence..

Raj that last batch was supurb!

I particually love the 747 smoky touchdown and the final b1900d one!

I have a few hunderd dollars spare and am thinking about getting a new camera- can you reccomend one that is good for plane spotting? Plus do you have any tips on how I can improve my shots...?

Also, would it be possible to send me the full sized original version of that 1900d link?

Cheers.

Hey Trolly,Thanks..
What Camera do u cerrently have..?
Let me know what your budget is and what your looking for in the Camera?? (MP and optical zoom etc..)
Your shots are superb too..
I don't Know of many tips..but when i Spot, I always try different Angles,Locations,close-ups and the most Important thing is ur timing as well as getting the Pictures Focused..Everytime i go spotting i Practise on these things..and i always screw up some shots but i learn from my mistakes..The best advice i can give you is keep trying different things everytime..And learn from your Mistakes..

Yea, i can send it to you..Can i have ur e-mail add..
Do u have any plans to go spotting next week??

My current camera (all in one) is the "Canon S3 IS" for $700.00 or less with 12x optical zoom plus Digital Zoom if silly. Also takes great video as well

Thats having got rid of expensive Nikon .. also have old Canon G3 as backup but note this is now a G7 with 10mill pixels but only 4x lens but would be great camera.
Price to be advised
