Uncle Chop Chop Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I thought I would take a trip out to Melbourne today and do a bit of Photography. I arrived out at the Airport at about 12.30pm. Arrivals where on Rwy 16 with Departures from Rwy 27. Melbourne isn't a good place for Pictures from Rwy 27 so the Rwy 16 Arrivals seemed to be the best place to catch the action. The Sun was in the wrong place to start with. I was at the Rwy 16 Spotting Area. The planes go straight over you and the glare was shocking. Not many photos from there. If anyone goes to Melbourne you will know that just 300 meters up from there is a church which provides great photo oppertunities. That's where I headed and the glare was nowhere near as bad as before. I thought I would share some of my favorites from today. Enjoy..... United we Stand in Giving way to the Planes! The Underbelly of a Jetstar A320 Thats where an Aircraft should be.... In the Spotlights! The Vomit Comet! Thirsty Magpies. They will be needing more than that on Thursday Night after the Tigers Maul em! Virgin Blue Boeing 737-800 on finals for Rwy 16. Taken from behind.
