Still learning the 7D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA2DJ4KeF74&feature=youtu.be
Through a series of failures on the part of my brother and a few of his friends, I wound up taking a short trip to LA yesterday. I spent about 40 minutes at LAX. While I was there when the light was perfect, runway 24R was closed, meaning that the shots I wanted to get from In-N-Out and the Westchester Bridge weren't possible. I made due with the options I had, catching this China Airlines 747 on final for 24L. Would love to get back out there again during the summer when 24R is open.

Absolute killer image Matt. I love the 'grunge' look of the triple 7 and the late afternoon/evening light really completes the composition. Well done sir.
Hella shot for sure Matt!

Kaspar, your night shot of LAX is sweet, I like night shots!
I've not spent anytime shooting airliners before. I confess to never shooting at Sky Harbor. Really enjoyed capturing some early morning images at LAX with Joe, Harvey and Jason - wonderful light. Thanks Joe for showing me the ropes. I'll be giving 'aluminum sewer pipes' more respect and attention in the future ;D

Like Jeff, this was my first time shooting an A380. I've long thought they are just incredibly ridiculous airplanes, and I still do, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't awestruck having one fly right over me. The fisheye does absolutely no justice to the enormity of this thing.

+1 - Terrific "heavy" candy Kaspar; you've definitely got LAX wired.
Nice work! It's refreshing to see something other than Southwest or US Airways.
At the risk of being accused of "piling on"
Great images Kaspar!

Nice work! It's refreshing to see something other than Southwest or US Airways.
What's funny is that when Jeff, Harvey, Jason, and I went out there for Endeavour's arrival, we caught the Quantas A380 arriving at sunrise, followed by a steady stream of Southwest 737s and Mesa/Skywest CRJs.
Thank you guys!

I love the smoke (vapor) rings and "pilot" bird on this photograph Matt - very nice sir. The EVA colors are just starting to show through the early morning light ;D
Thanks Jeff, this was a very impressive arrival!
I never thought an MD-11 would look "gorgeous" to me. This one proved me wrong ;D

Very nice lighting at this point and of course the vapor trails are outstanding.

Like Dave, I had problems with heat haze and light poles at the "overpass" location. The light poles are something I can resolve most of the time with PS cloning tools, but the heat haze is an image killer I'm not smart enough to fix. Here are two of the few images I got at this location that were acceptable. BTW, there were four light poles in the JAL image ;)

That is because you were there wrong time of day!!
Are you saying there aren't light poles there during certain times of the day ??? ;) ;D
Pray tell, please educate the unwashed of your AzAP brethren and explain when is the right time of day to shoot from the overpass. Also, is time of year a factor?
Caught this vortex shedding beauty between the approach lighting poles. Really digging the linear sun streaks caused by the sun's relative shallow angle to the lens.

What nobody mentioned is that everybody cut the trip short when the clouds (marine layer?) rolled in and the weather radar showed no let-up into the hours when the light from Westchester would have otherwise been phenomenal. And in talking with Jeff today, he mentioned that they were driving around checking out spots and found themselves at the overpass when a series of interesting arrivals showed up. I would have advised against hitting the bridge that early in the day as well, but I wasn't there, and I've only ever shot from there when the light was awesome (when I wasn't dodging shadows from the growing marine layer), but sadly 24R was closed and all I got was a ton of heat-hazy shots of 24L approaches, of which I only wound up editing and posting a single, obligatory "Hey, I went to LAX" shot. I'd love to get back out there around this time of year to shoot from the bridge when this light was good. Would have loved to make this trip, but I had other plans that apparently didn't have me back. >:(
I agree that snippiness, snideness, and sarcasm aren't needed, but neither is a comment that could easily be read as condescending (the second exclamation mark really puts some stank on it).
Well, I continue to live an learn. Thanks Eric and Joe for the info on times to shoot from the overpass. Joe is right, the marine layer came in around 4:00 PM and killed all the light on the entire airport - we bugged-out shortly thereafter. I'm sure that goes with the territory and is part of the accepted reality when you make a 24-hour bonsai run like we did last Saturday. If I take a moment to evaluate the entire trip, while we may have gotten screwed with the afternoon marine layer, we were paid-off in spades with the early morning opportunities from the In-n-Out location. All things considered, it was a great trip.
I hate to beat a dead horse, but I'm a vapor addict. Since it rarely if ever occurs in AZ, I'm like a kid in a candy store when I get a chance to shoot early morning at LAX. If you think the A380 creates vapor, the MD-11 can ring-out the air with the best ;D

You're waaaaaay to kind Harvey, thank you. The night photography ops are exceptional from several vantage points.

Thank you for the encouragement Scott. Again, luck was on my side. The lighting under the 319 is coming from the tug and an airport vehicle hidden on the opposite side. I could not have planned it better ;D

How was shooting from the south side on this trip? Looks like you guys have some pretty killer shots from there. I thought the TB Terminal was a decently far aware from there, did you have to crop your Captains Kangaroo shot quite a bit?

Thanks Dave. Matt may have a different take on this but I found "The Hill" location to work very well for departures, taxiing and the west side of the TB Terminal. There are some foreground obstructions (not unlike the overpass location for RWY 24) you have to deal with for departures, but generally you get nice opportunities from this area. If you get lucky, some of the foreground obstructions can add nice framing elements (see image below). Not a good location for arrivals unless you have a very long lens and can cut the haze/marine layer. The TB Terminal (sounds like a building for lung diseases) was not a significant crop. I was using my 100-400 and mainly cropped in an effort to eliminate some rooftop HVAC units in the foreground. A 500mm would have definitely been better for the TB Terminal shots, but the 100-400 is not a handicap by any means. As is the case for nearly any type of outdoor photography, early and late light is excellent from "The Hill".

Dave, I was way more successful than I was shooting at the overpass, much less haze this trip than our last trip. Most of that success was based on the random conditions of the two days. Based on the type of photos from the two spots, I prefer shooting from the overpass. I really want another chance there on a better day. I'm not a huge fan of cluttered airport shots, and that is what you get from Imperial Hill. I did enjoy my time at Imperial Hill, but the company I keep helped with that. I guess to sum it all up, I prefer the Westchester Overpass to Imperial Hill. But, they both offer some good, and very different, shots.
Awesome shots guys!

This was my third and most extensive photo-trip to LAX. Each time I go, I learn a little more and enjoy better results. IMO, the night opportunities alone will have me going back - hopefully soon ;)
I think I will be heading to LAX next Friday. Hope I get some great shots like you guys got!!

As you, I, and Kaspar know; the A340 came past us in very poor light. A tough post processing assignment for sure. If it is any consolation, you're doing better than I. So far, I've not produced a file I'd be willing to post.

Thanks Jeff, some of these shots were a little more difficult than the norm, and I'm not completely sure I made them any better.

@ Jay - the Emirates is my favorite A380 and you nailed it in typical Beckman fashion - terrific. I really like the ¾ backside angle and the two vapor streams coming over the wing. Very well done sir.

^^^^^^ Jay, your images from LAX are terrific. Especially these last three from the Westchester overpass (I assume). I had a difficult time shooting from there, but you've done very well. There are definitely some visual "land mines" in the foreground at that location; however, I like how you've cropped things in PP to deal with those bad boys. The "Eastern Star" is a favorite ;)
Thanks Jeff.
Very very nice Jay. One of these days I'll make the trek....Not that I don't like SWA 737s.

Terrific image Eric. Hard to beat that late afternoon west coast light. Was this 380 departing on 25L and were you flying with Star Helos to get this image? Excellent work sir.
Quote from: Desert Rat (Eric A. Rosen) on June 08, 2015, 09:10:44 AM
380 was departing on 24L and this was with Star. They are the only company that can do the fly over of LAX.
What has been your preferred lens when photographing from a Star helo? It is something I dream of doing someday.

For me, there is nothing as sensual as a pano of a fat Russian woman. Nicely done Eric ;)

Nice set Jay....
It was a fun trip. We will need to do that again and explore other locations at LAX. Also want to work the hill with a tripod after dark.
A bit more challenging for hand held panning night shots at LAX. Not as much light from the surroundings as there is at Sky Harbor.

I like your shot of the China Eastern A-340 with Hollywood sign in the background. That is a clear day in LA, nice work Kaspar.

Very nice!
Just got back from an out and back to LAX. Ever since I first heard about the A380, I've always wanted a picture of one.

Well done Taj...
Even though the In-N-Out at LAX was backlit like no other, I still had to go there just to check it out.
