Great shots guys! And we've made 4 pages for this month alone!!

A few from yesterday (30th) to round out the month for me. Saw one this evening ... similar markings to Air Berlin (red belly/engines) .. but it
did not have the noticeable Air Berlin underneath.

All shot in Manual Mode, ISO 100 and a shutter speed of 1250.

My advice for you is to rotate a bit the camera so you can get the plane not going up or down

Hi, I use the 'Av' setting on my camera with iso 200 (unless its early morning evening, I use manual settings), and take pics in RAW format.
