Hi Guys,
After some crtiques for this pic.
http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=706537&size=L&sok=&photo_nr=
Using 70-300G.
Some post processing in Photoshop was done also such as sharpening and brightness/contrast etc.
Let me know what you think and what can be done to improve.
Cheers
Brad

Hi Brad
nice shot! I've got about 35 photo's on airliners all taken with my D70.The standard for a photograph to get on Airliners has got to be high so I don,t think you can improve your photo any more.
What time of day did u take the picture?

Nice pic Brad - must have been early morning or towards dusk - I would guess at dusk due to the colour

Wow, that's really good work Brad. Slight evidence of oversharpening, but that's being VERY picky!

Hi Brad, yes nice pic indeed, i love sitting down watching planes take off and so on when i go to Adelaide but always been out of my reach, but now i have the D70 and lens that can do this next time i am up there i can take some as i am a sucker for planes.
Cheers

Hi Brad,
I think the picture is really good, but I found myself wanting to see more of the environment ( which I guess is what you wanted to avoid).
Cheers,
Gerard

Excellent, congratulations on getting it on Airliners.net. They are very picky with their photos.

Hey BBJ, don't know when the last time you were in Adelaide was (I had been away for 3 years until Nov!) but there's an outlet Shopping Mall kinda thing called "Harbourtown" right next to the airport now. There's a glass wall about halfway along the mall where you can sit and have a coffee/yiros etc and watch the planes land and take off!
I'd love to send this airliners.net page to those guys on dpreview that were whinging (being paranoid in my opinion) that people shouldn't be allowed to take photo's on planes..surely terrorists find pic's like this one useful:

Hi Liam, Yes mate would be interesting. I had heard that maybe even seen it, as someone was saying they have some good shops there.
Last time we was there we always stay at the Adelaide shores park or as known the west beach carravan park so not far away. I fi am up on my own i stay at my mates at Little Hampton but you can bet that when i am there next i will be stopping by for a looks.
Cheers

Very nice.
Too often shots of planes don't capture the magnificence of these amazing machines seen in real life, but you've managed to do it.
