I love your lufthansa A319 and Austrian A320 shots! The lighting is perfect… but for me the perfect one is the swiss boeing 777… that wing flex is amazing!

[Nick_Wing]

The wingflex and the wet runway makes the picture look 1000 times better. Thanks for the feedback!

[david_hartono_S]

What is your gear? I think its amazing since its your first time using a new camera

[CaptainDwyer]

Absolutely love that Swiss CS100! What that in IF soooo bad. It’s the sleekest plane ever made.

[Starley]

Very nice pictures! But don’t forget about the new rule for the spotting category!

New rule for Spotting category

Starting today, all new thread should have a maximum of 10 pictures. Make sure you select the absolute best from your spotting session!

We are making this change for a couple reasons:

• pics take a lot of storage space on the server; with our growing numbers we will soon reach our current limit.
• we want to promote quality over quantity.

Happy spotting!

[Nick_Wing]

When were those rules enforced?

[Starley]

16 days ago. Just check Philippe’s topic above!

[Nick_Wing]

Just checked it out. Thanks for warning me. I’ll have some of them taken down ASAP

[Moosehead08]

Great photos, I always love seeing photos from Zurich with the mountains in the back :)

Were any of these photos taken from the viewing terraces?

[Daniel14]

These are some nice photos! Very well done

[jdag2004]

The last picture is absolutely spectacular! Would you mind if I were to try and edit it and send it to you?

[Nick_Wing]

Sure. The quality isn’t very good on that pic but I’m excited to see what you can do with it!

[Nick_Wing]

No, none of these were taken from any of the terraces.
At the start of runway 14 there are some hills and a siding with some restaurants. All of them were taken there.

Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it!
