Over the past couple of months, I’ve been editing my photos from the 23rd of July and the 19th of August. I am nowhere near finished, but I have a solid number of photos to share with everyone. Most of the photos below have been posted on my Instagram account, @sydaviation, and more will be coming, so feel free to check it out. Most of the photos are compressed, so clicking on them will allow you to see the full quality version.

Who’s face is prettier?
The woman in the red shirt really shows how large aircraft are…
Red shirt is back! This time with a red bag 😂
Tucking away after taking off from 34L

19/8/17 (19th of August, 2017)
I spent four hours removing those two poles, and then accidentally deleted it 😂
Up close… 😍
Parallel take off!
Tower: “Turn right heading 010, QF223.” “Turn left heading 320, VA446.” sorry ;)
Did you know Qantas Freight save over 10 million dollars a year by pulling their aircraft to the runway to start their engines? I’m joking ;) This aircraft was actually being pulled from maintenance to the cargo terminal.
Floating down onto 16R
The duck and the kangaroo
Still wearing the 1984 livery. Time for a change, perhaps?
Beginning the unloading process after landing.
One of the two MD-11s that regularly visit YSSY.
2/9/17 (2nd of September, 2017)
The first 747-8i to visit Sydney departing 34L back to Seoul.
Well, that’s about it. These were only the edited photos from the two (not including the 747-8i) dates. I’ve shared maybe 100 photos in this topic, but I still have thousands to edit. For editing I use Adobe Lightroom, and occasionally Adobe Photoshop to remove poles and obstructions. I would strongly recommend Lightroom to anyone who wants to make their photos look amazing. The hard part of creating this topic was resizing the images to fit the Discourse limit, but Lightroom made it a breeze.
(Lightroom allows you to choose your sizing options, and it will apply to each photo you export).
I hope you enjoyed these photos!
