Yeah that wouldā€™ve been awesome. Unfortunately you are only allowed in 2 spots - above the terminal area and above the cargo area, neither of which are very close. I have seen shots like that, but I donā€™t have a long enough lens to get it. Maybe another time haha

Incredible shots! Couple questions for you:

  1. Whatā€™s your gear?
  2. What settings to you typically use?
  3. When am I gonna see these on JetPhotos?

Thanks haha. Nikon D5500 70-300mm Nikkor lens. I generally shoot in auto as I feel like the camera can do a better job than I can and usually I shoot with ISO 100. Due to the helicopter movement, I shot these in ISO320, with shutter speeds averaging 1/1600-1/2500. I only got two on JetPhotos (Iā€™m not master lol), those two being Qantas and Hong Kong. Others were rejected for mainly for contrast, with a couple for overexposure or softness. I donā€™t give photos a second try very often because someone generally uploads a more recent one before I do.
