\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m leaving early tomorrow for my wildest Nikon assignment ever, shooting landing airlines on St. Maarten Island in the Caribbean! \u00a0You’ve probably seen these videos on You-tube, as commercial jets land right over the beach on this \u00a0Dutch\/French Island. \u00a0Over 100 international photographers will gather this week to shoot these images and I will be there for Nikon to join in the fun!! \u00a0The sponsors of the event are a local dealer, Boolchands, \u00a0and 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. \u00a0I’m planning numerous shots with super wide angle lenses, fisheyes, and telelphotos shooting as the planes approach. \u00a0I look forward to posting images all this coming week. \u00a0Should be great fun meeting and working with shooters from all over the world on this project!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I just, meaning ten minutes ago, got a box with the new D7100 and the 80-400 inside!!!! \u00a0These will be put to great use shooting the planes! \u00a0I am planning on buying both these things from Nikon when I retire June 3oth!!! \u00a0 This will be a great test to be sure I want to add them to my arsenal! \u00a0Life is just too much fun!!!!!!<\/p>\n

These images were pulled from the picture section of Google. \u00a0Can;t wait to try and make some of my own. \u00a0 More to come soon!<\/p>\n

Blessings,<\/p>\n
