Bjørn - Oslo Airport on a rainy day shot it just "wow"! Copenhagen Airport Kastrup is a very colorful shot. I was amazed how good V1 is.

Title: Re: Photos shot at Airports
Post by: Bjørn Rørslett on October 26, 2015, 18:58:27: Quickly browsing airport images from my archive, I made some surprising discoveries. This night scene, from Frankfurt am Main Germany August 2009, is remarkable not because of its photographic qualities, but by clearly showing a person I at that point in time hadn't met, but soon thereafter became a dear friend.

I am of course talking about "The Great Dane" aka "Dr. Lens", or Erik G. Lund. His impressive frame, here with a khaki-coloured attire, really stands out in the crowd !! I noticed his photo vest and started talking with him later on the flight, and we spent the long flight from Frankfurt to Johannesburg discovering we had so much in common. The rest is history, as they say. The present NikonGear Community is a direct consequence of that trip in so many ways. During the trip, Jakov and Jan Anne also entered the inner circle permanently.

Post by: Olivier on October 28, 2015, 10:50:20: Hi Bjørn,

Are you sure about the Big Dipper in your stars shot from the plane?
I see Canis Major, Orion and Taurus for sure but not the big dipper (Ursa Major)!

Maybe I did not get what you meant.

Anyway, it is a cool shot and probably a rare attempt at astrophotography from a fast moving object!
I know it is also done from satellites but the means developed are not in the same league of course.

Oops, brain fart, Orion of course, my bad. And do not blame Bjørn for that. ;D

The plane moves at a pretty moderate speed compared to how fast we swirl around the earth here on the ground, so as long as one can brace relative to the plane and a steady course is held, it can work.

Bjørn, you are right. "Welcome Back" is more precise translation for "Okaerinasai". By the way, that's when we finally saw each other in person!

FWIW, the display right below the "Welcome Back" sign says that they found one malaria patient in red.

By the way, be very careful if you try shooting such scenes - the security guards will fall over you like a ton of bricks if you are spotted. A situation for which small unobtrusive (and automatic functioning) cameras are advantageous. I took my chance with my Nikon D3 and the 35/1.4 AIS and got away with it.
