It's that time again. That time when I realise, hey I haven’t been down the airport for a while... and so I pack my things and make my way down to NZAA with my scanner and camera ready to get some more photos to share with you guys on the forums 🙂

1. Air Pacific's Flagship touching down on runway 23L

2. ZK-SJC taxing to the runway

3. A close up of the front half of the 737

4. A Qantas 767 taxing towards the active

5. An ANZ Airbus A320 in the hot midday sun

6. 777 #1 belonging to Malaysian Airlines

nice shots, i wish i had that kind of variety here in phoenix, arizona instead of the 'ol america west and southwest. have you tried editing those? to me it looks like you could sharpen them up a little and boost the saturation and contrast and brightness a bit and it would make them look even better.

First of all, thank you for your comments PW, joelegg, GM, atreyu, Mc_GaNgStA and hms_endeavour!

Secondly, sorry 56k'ers for the long delay in downloading time, I hope you think the pictures are worth you bandwidth!

In response to your comment atreyu, yes, I guess these pics could so with some sprucing up. They don't look as good as my last two batches (that where taken in the early morning) as these ones where taken right in the middle of the day in the bright sun, causing lots of shadows and glare.

But I was happy to make a compromise. A wider variety of aircraft and airlines over better picture quality.

I still had a lot of fun standing only meters away from the giants and tasting the engine paraffin right on the tip of my tongue!

Next time I go planespotting, expect something different... that is all I will say for now 😉
