I’m leaving early tomorrow for my wildest Nikon assignment ever, shooting landing airlines on St. Maarten Island in the Caribbean!  You’ve probably seen these videos on You-tube, as commercial jets land right over the beach on this  Dutch/French Island.  Over 100 international photographers will gather this week to shoot these images and I will be there for Nikon to join in the fun!!  The sponsors of the event are a local dealer, Boolchands,  and they have provided us a hotel location where we can shoot down from a balcony onto the runway as well as shooting from the beach illustrated here.  I’m planning numerous shots with super wide angle lenses, fisheyes, and telelphotos shooting as the planes approach.  I look forward to posting images all this coming week.  Should be great fun meeting and working with shooters from all over the world on this project!

 

I just, meaning ten minutes ago, got a box with the new D7100 and the 80-400 inside!!!!  These will be put to great use shooting the planes!  I am planning on buying both these things from Nikon when I retire June 3oth!!!   This will be a great test to be sure I want to add them to my arsenal!  Life is just too much fun!!!!!!

 

 

These images were pulled from the picture section of Google.  Can;t wait to try and make some of my own.   More to come soon!
