Delta 757-200 N710TW Departing JFK

Taken from Brookville Park under the departure of 4L. At this point it was getting pretty dark and so the images are getting a bit grainy.

Camera was a Fuji X-T4 with XF 100-400mm Lens.



    Boy is it good to see you again!

    ‘Ello!

    Nice shots! :D

    Almost like when you go spotting you take pictures of more than 1 plane.

    Welcome back old chap!

    Nothing wrong with going plane spotting for hours, but any other person would be blasted for spamming the gallery. Double standards much

    So I agree with this in some ways but also not really in some others. Thinking about the ~2 a day rule, it has some benefits for livery creation. It's better when people take more time to make their liveries so that they're more well thought out and less crap and an artificial way to encourage that is to make it so that new creators theoretically create fewer liveries a day and thus might spend more time on each of their creations. This series, though, is a gallery of plane spotting images which, for obvious reasons, do not come with the same desire from the gallery for one to take days to create a photograph of a plane. Many of the multi-posts I have seen heavily criticized in the gallery during my admittedly short time are either pretty terrible or very repetitious or both. Criticism of 14 posts of the same aircraft with a colour changed here or a reg changed there makes sense because each post doesn't really create its own value. This collection is of a series of different planes spotted and if you like airplane photography then you probably believe that each one has merit on its own.

    That all being said, I find the rule to be a little silly and particularly so given that this does push some work off of the gallery front page and yet no one complained so I understand your point.

    Hopefully this is long enough that it discourages any argument via its sheer unwieldiness
