Hey IFC and spotters,
Happy Friday! Here is part two of my four part spotting post from Toronto Pearson last weekend. The second day I went spotting for about 11 hours, and took 400 photos. Included are some of the best shots (heavies especially). Most of these were taken of aircraft landing on runway 05.
One small note is that I started using some Photoshop to edit shots, IMO it makes it look sharper because of the HDR, so the shots probably look different.
First is an American A319, aka the baby bus (the A318 is the premature baby bus)
Air Canada Rouge B763 rolling by, about to take off on runway 6L
Thank you guys for your continued support! I will probably post two more sections from this spotting trip, as like I said I got so many shots.
Hope you enjoyed the photos!
Out of curiosity, what would you call the “range” on a 75-300? Because we are rather far from the runway at KPIT, but I want those money landings, do you think that would be enough?
I don’t own one but I can tell you that you will probably need something longer, and no matter how long your lens it from that distance the heat haze both from distance and from the engines will ruin your shot. I’ve tried shooting shots like that from about half a km away and the heat haze even under 50 degree weather conditions renders the shot useless.
Have to agree with @AndrewWu, getting good shots from that angle would be hard from the distance that you are at, the only time it might produce usable shots would be during cold weather with low heat haze. Is there any way to get any closer than that?
@Plnelovr@VAnuj Thank you! @CR3W I use my Canon EOS Rebel SL1, with a Canon 75-300 lens. While both are kind of beginner-ish on the quality spectrum, they both get the job don for me. I would be surprised if you can get a phone or ipad picture looking this good tbh, they are not made for taking long-range shots…
