Default low flying aircraft

nipped out for a bit of fresh air this afternoon and headed for Liverpool Airport - had a go at shooting the planes as they landed, felt a bit inferior as everyone else had massive zoom lenses but i did my best

Nice job Tim! Great set of the planes. The sky color really sets them off.

Well done, especially given that you were using the not-very-long kit lens.

Don't be getting all lens lustful now, size isn't everything, technique and attention to detail is what made Don Juan such a great photographer.
All four are excellent Tim, wonderfully clear and detailed and all at 55mm, fantastic pictures mate
