Aviation Photography: June 2008 Archives

On June 24, 2008 I managed to capture some images of an Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting vehicle at close range. See the photo gallery and the Related Resources page AARF for details.

On 22 June 2008 Patricia and I made a visit to Adelaide Airport with the intention of getting some photographs of night approaches. We were really lucky. The evening light was ok for the camera until nearly dusk. We took shots of approaching aircraft and decided to get some infrastructure too. We have a selection of approach lights to Adelaide runway 23 and PAPI. Check out the Photo Gallery. Look for 22 June 2008. You can even put this in the search box if you like.

Well, we have officially cracked the 300 photos on line. There are some nice new shots of aircraft and a great section from the Bureau of Meteorology. There is also a new page under the "REAL THING" about the Airport MET Office. Take a look, it's interesting.

Well, I took another 50 photos today but only uploaded about 22. This was because I was not happy with the perfomance on a new lens (in some images). It suffered vignetting around the out edges and refraction at extreme focal length. Many of the images were ok but I have decided not to use them.

We now have over 220 photos on line from around the Adelaide area.

Today we introduced two new categories to the photo gallery.

Gliders. No images a s yet but we'll be on the lookout.

Other (Grab Bag) for all the images that don't fit into other categories.

Our 200 strong photo gallery will be growing again with another airport visit planned soon!
