Title: Accidental spotting 13/1/12
Post by: Furryforest on January 14, 2012, 11:48:41 AM

I took a bimble up the North Coast yesterday, no plans to do any spotting but a couple of opportunities offered themselves up.

G-PSNO at about 100' between Waterfoot and Carnlough. I believe they were doing a shoreline search for the missing cyclist from Kells.

This one i was particularly chuffed about. SAS A330 en route to Manchester. Taken on the East Strand at Portrush. According to PF finder she was at 38'000 when this shot was taken! Loving my new camera

Very nice catches. Just goes to show you should always have your camera handy. What are you using?

Thanks Casper. It's an EOS1100D. My first DSLR. Slowly but surely getting better with it

What lens? That's a nice close up of the A330.

It's a Tamron 70-300. Really impressed with the results it can produce
