Twilight Hours in Osaka @ RJOO

Osaka has been one of my bucket list spotting locations for a long time, and after seeing @AndrewWu’s photos from this airport, I decided to get creative and copy his shots exactly, except for my conditions, I had to utilize a Canon DSLR crop sensor in low light (the two don’t go well).

After taking 45 minutes of trains from Kyoto and a 20 minute walk from the station, I reached the Senri River Bank near the threshold of runway 32L. Nonetheless, the angles and backdrop make Osaka Itami one of the most beautiful and artistic places for plane spotting. I decided to go a bit heavier on the editing after the sun set. hopefully you don’t get tired of purple :).

Now that the Dash 8 no longer flies back in the USA, seeing one again was fulfilling.

I thought you took the pictures since you said it was your first time spotting.

Nah, that’s a reference to a post I made titled “My first time spotting, what do you think” that was taken at the same airport.
