Well, I am sure this thread will have very little pictures in them. Nevertheless, show what you've got.

I am very pleased with this shot.

Re: Your Best Aviation Shot

Eventhough I've seen this photo before, I still have to say it's a stunning shot.

The 777-200 looks just gorgeous with that shiny American Airlines livery.

If there's anything I'd suggest you do to that photos it is to increase the saturation a little so as to make the grass a little greener and the read strip of the livery a little reder.. although I do understand the shot was taken with the afternoon sun shining so that added the orange-ish tinge to things.

Nonetheless....a stunning shot with amazing crispness. I wish my camera could capture such crystal-like detail.

Re: Your Best Aviation Shot

Thank you Beemer. What is interesting about the photo is that it is already saturated. The grass is just literally dead. lol!

I will see what I can do.

Re: Your Best Aviation Shot

Hahaha... I kinda thought that grass was dead.

Here's one of my photos. Not the best shot I have, but definately up there for me. I took this shot on my latest trip to San Francisco from Sydney. Flying a Qantas 747-400 with the sun rising on the horizon.

Re: Your Best Aviation Shot

Here's another photos of mine that I quite like. Eventhough it was a very overcast day, and even if it's a small aircraft (I'm a big aircraft fan) I still like this shot on approach to 16R at Sydney International.

Re: Your Best Aviation Shot

Okay, I am not to happy with this picture. I had some trouble in CS2 attempting to fix the lighting. It may not be that good, but comments are welcome. I think this may have been taken with my old D200.

Re: Your Best Aviation Shot

Not some pro shot, but rather interesting; took this one while lying on the beach and enjoying sun last year on my vacation.

Sea-gull and i don't know which plane:
