Given the good weather this weekend, I couldn't resist another nip down to Dublin, this time for a full day of photography.
So here I am awaiting the taxi into Belfast to then get the 5am bus down. :)
Just noticed that there's an Arkefly 767-300 arriving into Dublin between 10 and 11am, just a quick heads up incase there's any guys around Dublin wanting to catch something different.

Well, what can I say about Dublin on Sunday... The weather was immense, crystal clear all day and not a single cloud. I was in the same spot from 10 minutes before sunrise until 10 minutes after sunrise which is quite hardcore but thought I might aswell make the most of the daytrip down 8) I did end up sleeping in my foldable chair around midday for about half an hour, only to be rudely awoken by a Ryanair departing which left me a tad disoreniated as to where I was. ;D
I havn't had time to do much editing, just a select few from the half hour before sunset which yet again offered brilliant light. I'll post the rest when I get a chance later in the week.

Cracking shots and light Dave.

Great images Dave was toying with going down on Sunday but stayed up here to get all the MTV traffic, looking at your shots I think I should have ventured down, did you get the Isreali 757?
Cheers

Thanks guys, I was tempted to go to either BHD or BFS on the Sunday, but followoing the rubbish appearance on Friday and Saturday, I opted heading down to Dublin to satisify my thrist for aircraft. :angel:
I did indeed catch the Israel 757, it was a Sun D'Or 757 which now belongs to EL AL apparently after the airline ceased operations in April this year. Unfortunately I missed a Qatar A340-600 arriving in before sunrise, due in for a repaint I think.
