Good Friday in Orlando

Justino · 03-21-2008, 09:04 PM

Day off from school...so off to the airport!

And these two are for Phantom who works for Lufthansa here in MCO.

Good spotlocations, very nice photos, especiall the Condor and the LHA330 Sunset lighted aircraft. Thanks for sharing.

Good for you, you don't have fencewires to worry about. I was out spotting two days ago, and I tried as much to get close to the fence so the wire wouldnt be noticed, I proved wrong, half my batch were "ruined". I will be upload them tomorrow.

Nice photos! I like the lighting too.

crownvic · 03-21-2008, 09:37 PM

Justino: great shots, however you may want to check out the West ramp as you missed the John Travoltas 707 parked there all day and right next to it an ultra rare Qatar A340!

What? What was QR doing there? Amiri flight? diversion? Also, what was JT doing there?!? Speaking of QR, I just saw one last week at IAD

AHH!!!

That sucks...everytime I go over there, nothing special is ever in town. But thanks for the heads up! I'm sure he will be in town again.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

MarinerOne · 03-21-2008, 10:30 PM

Nice photos there Justino!!!

You lucky "kids" these days with all the great digital equipment ... all we could shoot before were 35mm or slides!

I like this one very much ... keep up the great work!

Bill-ay · 03-21-2008, 10:31 PM

Justin, did u try any of these on JP.net yet? I know a handfull could get on with ease.
Thanks for that DL 767-400 pic, these seem to be so rare to see!!

B773ER · 03-21-2008, 10:35 PM

What is an Amiri flight?

It's a flight operated on behalf of the Royal family.

B773ER · 03-21-2008, 10:45 PM

Oh, I see. Thanks. I tried doing a Net search on it, but could only come up with fleet information, not what it was about. lol. I thought perhaps they are good will mission flights or something like tat.

Captain_W · 03-21-2008, 11:12 PM

Well it had to have been a good Friday for those kind of shots!
Nice job!

crownvic · 03-21-2008, 11:23 PM

The Qatar A340 is usually here 3-4 times a year, sometimes there will be 2 or 3 planes at once and they stay for awhile usually a week to ten days..As for Travolta its always here as his home airport Jumbolair (Greystone) is a 9 minute flight from here...I got some nice shots on the ramp of him with the other Qantas 707 here last fall side by side when it was on the around the world flight...Got a great shot of JT waving to us from the cockpit as they taxied out!

As for jp.net my brother is a part owner in that along with Gemini Jets and ADI!

Justino · 03-22-2008, 12:40 AM

Yeah Billy, I have some in the line at jp.net...Hey Crownvic, tell your brother to take an easy on my pics!

Why? It can't be an Amiri Flight.

C-Rex · 03-22-2008, 08:00 AM

I believe QR codeshare Star Alliance carriers with UA/US to MCO from IAD (Dulles) as UA1569/US6514.

Hard to believe, but could it be diversions ? Just a guess, don't flame.

Justino · 03-22-2008, 11:53 AM

Yeah that might be it...but I think if they codeshared with UA/US, then it would be parked at one of the airsides and not on the West Ramp (which is the old military ramp, now cargo and GA). Maybe it's a special trip to Disney or Universal for the entire Royal Family...

Way to go, Pistone !

Just careful with 'em halos around the titles.
It can be avoided during your edit-process, mind telling me your workflow.?
Two things are causing this, either by using the shadow/highlighting tool or via sharping tool, you can minimize it by sharpening the photo by the unsharpen method tool at PS.

Justino · 03-25-2008, 05:20 PM

Thanks! But what halos?? I don't think I'm seeing what you see..

But as far as workflow...I'm still using the one you gave me a few months ago from the Jetphotos guy. Although for this pic, it was just a little level, crop, and sharpen...no color or contrast adjustments.

Bill-ay · 03-25-2008, 06:05 PM

Congrats to Justin!!!! Great job J.! Hopefully you can start getting a better ratio of acceptents then rejects?
