On Christmas Day, I received my first professional camera as a gift… the EOS Canon Rebel T6. This is one of the best gifts I’ve received in a long time.
After taking a few shots for a couple days, and learning how to work the functions, I decided to finally test out my skills and head over to JFK airport. Before when I went to JFK to spot, I had nothing but an iPhone 6 (recently 7+). So getting to capture high quality photos like these really made me “whole”. Here are the photos I took. :slightly_smiling_face:
An absolutely amazing set of photos. Nice to see someone taking such good photos from JFK. Happy New Year, and I would love to see more photos of yours!
Great shots!
Where/how did you get these? Security at JFK isn’t really fond of planespotters, except if you get a special pass from the Port Authority.
I got to JFK a little after 10AM, and I rode the AirTrain around the airport, stopping at different terminals that have good views… mostly Terminals 2, 4 and 7. They also have parking areas on the rooftops which give you clean views.
I didn’t have problems with security until around 4PM, they started telling me I can’t take photos. So I had to dodge them by constantly switching terminals via the AirTrain.
They are actually the reason why I couldn’t get some dapper night shots. There was a LATAM A350 that departed a little after 6, but security was guarding Orange Parking (31L departures view). First time I’ve seen an A350… kinda. It was pitch black out haha.
Wow these pics are great! I got a Nikon D5200 for Christmas so I am beginning my aviation photography career. This is my first professional camera, also!
