Spotting the Heavies (Part 1)

Featured Replies

Greetings folks,

 

I managed to find some time to rummage around my screen shot folder and collect some shots (mostly shots from the past @3 years that I never got around to posting) to make up a themed screen shot series as it has been a while since I posted such series. The theme is based around a spotter's view when trying to catch a photo of heavies in and around airports. I do hope you enjoy the view and, as always, these shots (unless I state otherwise) are unedited apart from resized down from 2560x1600 & JPG'd (I did crop certain shots so the ratios is different in some as you will see).

Not 100% sure as I took that shot a while ago but I think that would be Athens X (LGAV).

I took that shot last year and for the live of me, I cannot remember what airport that was at. I will see if I can find it again in the meantime, if anyone else recognizes that airport, please feel free to say so.

Love #1 and #7!

Amazing photos!

Can I ask how these have been taken. Do you pause the sim right before landing, use auto land or watch a replay to take the pictures? Do you use any special software or is it just a normal screenshot?

I thought that is was Paris with the Air France 744 but is it the Aerosoft Orly or Charles De Gaulle that what I was hopeing to see. Cheers Greg
