Airborne 2005. The only one of many, many photos that day that were any good. Due to luck rather than skill on my part, thanks to the camera's shutter lag. Oh to be able to shoot on datum!

Is that yours Dispatcher?

Yes, that's mine, taken with a Canon 20d SLR. It's a superb digital SLR with extremely short shutter lag.

I've uploaded quite a few "close" pics to http://mik.me.uk/plogger/index.php?l...ollection&id=1

No mate this is what you get when EGLC use Easterflies and Heathrow use westerflies.

This is about 1000-1500ft and i get it happening over my house every day.

Robbie

For the best ever tutorial on perspective effects, it is necessary to turn to Father Ted
