Golden Hour, Beacons, and Fun @ KVGT

Golden Hour, Beacons, and Fun

I’m back at it in Northtown (aka. North Las Vegas)! It was a ton of fun checking out some new settings and shots that I have never done before.

Special thanks to AndrewWu for my settings ;)

Please enjoy my pics!


Touring Helicopter

First up we have a touring helicopter on the ground preparing for its first flight of the night. Lighting was great!

And here is a shot I took as it lifted over my step-dad and I. Maybe my favorite of the day?


Private Cessna Citation

Here is a Citation parked at the FBO.


Vans RV-10 (?)

Not quite sure what it is, but I think its an RV-10.


A Very Pretty Bird

How can one be so pretty and ugly at the same time? I’m not sure what this is, but it was a ton of fun to look at.


News 3 LV

Here is a News Helicopter on its way to spot some traffic! The man is Tom Hawley, one of News 3’s traffic anchors. I vividly remember when I was around 5/6 and I would watch him fly in this heli on the news.


Pretty Beech

Nice looking Beechcraft on its way back to the ramp.


Piper M600

We noticed this viewing deck at the airport restaurant and went there for the final shots of our day. Very beautiful Piper that pulled in right in front of us. Exhaust smells good 😂


Citation Jet

Here is a Citation we saw that was firing up for a flight to somewhere. Enjoy the final shot!

JP banned me because they have rejected all my pics so far 🥴

I’m doing Planespotters now.

Actually banned you? I feel like you must have had some pretty egregious rejections for that 😂

They hated everything I submitted. One picture was totally fine except it was 709 pixels on the tall side instead of 710 🙄

I know the problem, half of these are pistons and turboprops, not jets.


Anyhow, shame you got banned. But those are some amazing photos @Alec! Nighttime spotting is the best!
