The last morning of landings by the beach……..

Well, what a week!!!!  I’ve had a blast working with all these great shooters and being on this wonderful Island!  I had this last morning on the beach to prove to myself what I’ve learned.  The shot above is the money shot, the one that got a way all week, thankfully on the last day, I got it!!!! I shot from the beach just to the right of the active runway.  I shot 6 fps burst, up to 18 frames of each plane that came in, best shots below.   At the very end you can see the full 18 frame burst on the KLM 747 above.  Tonight we pack and fly out tomorrow, so this will be last post from St Maarten.  I sure hope someone from Nikon comes down next year to enjoy this great event!  The Latin American Nikon team, the Boolchand’s Camera crew, the St. Maarten’s Tourist Bureau, and Robby were all great!!  If you like airplanes, the Caribbean, and want a great vacation attend this event next March!!!

Well there you have it, practice pays off!  And to finish this trip right I went over to try the claimed “Best Burger on St Maarten!!!”  And I concur, in the states, it would have been a solid 4 pickle scale burger!

Blessings from St Maarten!
