|  I went to the airport today...(v 2.81) and This Is What I Did. This was my second time attempting to avoid the fence in my pictures. They are from KPVD. I took about 30 more, but they are too bad to post  I did get learn a few things while listening to my scanner. First off, Cape Air has no callsign over atc (just Cessna ###), second- Skywest flies to Providence, and third- it seemed like the controller was new. When he cleared someone for landing, he didn't say the winds. Probably every 5th plane asked for the winds. Everytime I focused on the plane through the fence, it was a lucky shot. What setting do I adjust in order to blur out the fence and get the plane? Hope you like 'em and are there any that are a.net quality  |

| Re: I went to the airport today...(v 2.81) The controller doesnt need to state the winds, they are in the ATIS, but pilots often request them when they are on final to simplify wind correction. |

[/ QUOTE ] Controllers do give the winds often as a part of a take-off or landing clearance, though. |

| Re: I went to the airport today...(v 2.81) Much better! I've definately seen improvement from your past photos you have shared! Keep it up. Oh, and I'm sure a few of them would be a.net quality if that is what you are looking for. Maybe a little photo editing could help as well. |

[/ QUOTE ] whenever I shoot through the fence, the fence usually is in focus instead of the plane [ QUOTE ] Nice shots of 185 and Tweety... wasn't me this time though... [/ QUOTE ] when I heard them call to atc, I thought about it being you or someone else but it would be so ironic to have that happen two times. Tweety had a quick flight, I was surprised because it was a solo  . and ATC held 3 airliners while Tweety was landing-that was funny.Thank you for all of the compliments |
