G'day
Bit of a funny story to share that no doubt many of you could relate to.
After a pretty frustrating couple of months where everytime i visited our Rwy 25 shooting point i finally had a win!
With the winter westerlies blowing here now i have been hanging to get some good departure shots of the 744 from Rwy 25.
Every time i went down to get the afternoon departures every heavy and i mean every heavy chose to depart off the much longer Rwy 34L here at Sydney.
Man talk frustrating.76's 73's by the dozen and not a single 74 which is what i have been hanging to get some shots of.
Anyway last weekend decided to go down on the off chance that one of the afternoon departures was running late and maybe a small change of luck.
Well it was standard fare with all the 744's going off rwy 34L until late in the hour when a SQ 744 called for pushback with a QF one right behind.
Lo and behold they are both going to Rwy 25.
Just incredible after 2 months of waiting i am finally in the right place and the right time.
The light was great with some great colors in the sky.
Anyway i got several pretty reasnoble photo's two of which i am pretty stoked with.
Love the first one with great colors in this with a beautiful sky in the background and it turned out exactly how i wanted(for a change!!).

The second captures the start of a big roll to the left as the SQ 744 gets hit by a large gust on rotation.
Finally i was in the right place at the right time.
[photoid=310238]
And to top it all off another 744 departed and i got a nice shot with moisture through the intakes.
[photoid=310240]
You really do get a great feeling of satisfaction when it all goes your way for a change.
What an afternoon and it all happened in about 15mins.
A great session.
Anyone else got any of those frustration relief stories to share??
