London City Airport

I wasn't sure whether to leave the context in or crop to the plane - this was Wednesday morning - timings are odd, so rather than another coffee in McDonald's before taking into sports session because the library isn't open that early, I took my student to watch the planes take off and land at London City Airport from Royal Albert dock (DLR stop). I liked the way the propellers show here

Thank you all for looking and commenting on my pictures. I know from doing this before how long it takes to say thank you individually and I'd rather look at your pictures. I don't get much time during the week either, so any thank yous will happen at the weekend.

I can see it's just as grey in b the UK as Holland.

@johnnyfrs it brightened up later - but when we were there it was pretty grey - today it's bright now, but I'm inside looking out - walked through showers at one point

[Emiko]

Nice captured! Like it!!

[Sally Ings]

Very cool to see the propellers like that! Looks a wee tad dark and dismal out there though.

[alta]

I love the capture of the gloomy weather on this.

[Steve Hollingsworth]

tried a something like this last week close to John Lennon airport ...did not turn out as well ....

[Ariel]

More planes please. I love aircraft.

[Steve]

well balanced - and you were right to keep the context in

[Call me Joe]

Cool capture---love big planes !!

[Barb Tatum]

This is a great shot!

[☠northy]

nice airplane shot... definitely glad that you left the context in :)

[Paul Myers]

Oh, I think this is better with the context of the land below it.

[Cassie]

What a great photo. I like that you can see the propellors spinning. Wow what a busy airport.

[Taffy]

Good airplane capture -- and definitely makes sense to have that shot be in context. Adding the city airport was a good decision photographically.

[Jen Hudson]

Really grey skies, the plane stands out well against them, good shot of it and adds to the content of the shot.

[8yearson]

Typical grey day in the UK.... like the sense of travel.

[Alison Tomlin]

Great pic. Not so keen on those prop planes - I'm sure they're safe but the noise is offputting!

[Carly]

I like the wider shot to give context, this is cool shame the sky is so grey :)

[Sharon]

Like it the way it is!

[Lisa Pouncy]

I think it works well with the context. looks like a pretty dull day xx

[Shanne]

@psychographer it was thinking about raining

[Keith Porteous]

cool shot. I miss the UK so much but not the weather!

[Michael Elliott]

Cool capture! I bet security was watching you.

[Shanne]

@michaelelliott I was the other side of the dock - so far enough away not to be that interesting! We get very good views of the airport from quite a few places

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Better with the airport and surroundings! I forget what you teach..... You take students to the airport?

And...do not worry about thanking me! I think if we all just took that time, and went to,others' photos, left comments, had conversations on discussion boards, read up in challenges going on....it would be better.

[Michael Elliott]

@shannejw - it's funny my brother was just asking me about doing airport shots but here is very difficult to get within miles and homeland security everywhere.

[Shanne]

@espyetta nowadays I'm tutoring in the community - so this lad I collect from home and work with in libraries or take to sports sessions.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@shannejw gotcha!
