Caught this as it flew over while I was taking another contrail shot. When I looked at the shot in the camera I thought there was a fault with the screen as I could see small lines on it... However it wasn't until I saw the shot on the computer screen that I realized it was the props leaving their own small contrails....

http://www.neatimage.com/ (http://www.neatimage.com/) - A plugin for Photoshop which removes grain very well, definitely worth a try , I found a big difference!

Go get 'em! 8)

Post by: Angry Turnip on July 13, 2012, 04:26:29 PM: There seemed to be loads of Transatlantic stuff going over us today,but there was patchy cloud over me at BFS today,so it meant aircraft were hard to see.

I didn`t take any photos,as I`m still busy with my RIAT ones.
Title: Re: Contrail Photo Thread - 2012
Post by: Jake Lewis on July 13, 2012, 11:11:50 PM: Yeah AT, there was indeed.

I counted two A-380's - and that has been the case everyday this week, as well as many other traffic, including the usual B-747's, A-330, B-777,. etc!

I also had patchy cloud (at times) which did make it slightly harder to spot the aircraft, but nonetheless, I did manage a few photos which may follow this post.

I hope you had a good time at RIAT and the photos are great!

Unfortunately only one aircraft flew over during the time, a Fedex 777, which happened to adjust it's course towards me a few minutes before hitting Belfast. Quite happy to have caught this, a first Fedex 777F for me.

Thanks, but I'm a big lad with a back like a ducks, which is why I let them go! While I may have defended some-ones right to not understand of like the contrails photos, I totally admire those that do take the shots, I only wish I had the equipment to do the same!

I've been sat here watching flight radar for the past hour or two, and only 3 aircraft have over flown Belfast, the rest end up turning slightly north over the Irish Sea. Also any time I looked out for contrails recently, they never seem to have contrails any more. Bah Humbug!

I reckon Casper is in a good place to catch traffic overhead-don`t see to many over BFS now,and when there is something,it`s almost always BA B767,B747 or a Swiss A340.

Flight Radar needs some updating String. Nordic Solutions hasn't exsisted since 2008, it's now Avion Express (based in Vilnius) since their reband. However the particular aircraft you saw overhead (LY-VEY) is on long term lease to WOW Air. :)

Nice one string, it's always nice to catch an A380, they're starting to fill the skies now.

Here's a few from Dublin yesterday, does anyone happen to know the reg of the Emirates A380 and Singapore Airlines A340-500 that overflew Dublin yesterday morning?

Post by: Angry Turnip on December 05, 2012, 11:20:37 AM: Very Nice String-Try underxposing your contrail shots a bit say 1-2 stops;and you will find detail comes out better.Also make sure your have the image stabiliser on,and use around 1/640th to 1/800th shutter speed to increase the sharpness.Hopefully you will find this useful. :)

I noticed two high flyers this morning at BFS coming from NW direction that would have possible to photograph with the moon in the backround.
Sadly I was going to work,and too busy scrapping ice of my windscreen to get my camera.

Couldn't quite resolve the reg but it looks like a XX-xxx format.

Splendid clarity this afternoon as I was working in the garden. A couple of passers-over caused me to run back to the camera.

1. Royal Jordanian A340, one of the few liveries that I think makes the quad-hairdryer look good.

2. Swiss A330, bland Eurowhite scheme but can just distinguish the red winglets. First time I've nailed the focus well enough to read the reg.

Very nice Smudge, the Royal Jordanian Aircraft must be one of their A340-200's, a rare enough aircraft these days. The Swiss A330 looks to be HB-JHM, only delivered brand new in the last month, also wearing the new Billboard livery, however from the bottom, looks exactly the same as the old livery :P

String, nice Lufty A380 pic from a few days ago!
