Just enough early dawn light at 5:20 AM for my lens to reach across from the east perimeter and catch FDX's "Nina" (N962FD) with the mains down on runway 16R as this B752 completes a short trip from KLAS.

This is my first capture of "Nina" (N962FD). I was pleased to be able to add a new reg number to my "FDX Photos" logbook list.

Gary, exceptional low light shot! Would you mind sharing the settings on that one.

Howdy, Mark. Thanks for the comment. Very early dawn (nautical). ISO 1600, f4.0, 1/200, handheld pan. 70-300mm lens but could only go 100mm; it was still at airborne speed so 1/200 was as slow as I dared go and in such very low ambient combined with those bright ramp lights backlighting it meant I couldn't use much zoom as I panned along on it. Used the front titles as focal point while panning. Fifteen shot series; I only had to junk three (two slightly blurred; one much too dark). This one isn't the best of the set; I've found a couple of my posts from here on other sites (also several of KBOS John M's, a few of Uwe's and also G. Starcher's night shots, etc,) so I don't post the very best ones anymore. PS .. I found one of yours and one of Uwe's about 6-7 weeks ago, but the dude deleted them pronto when I told him I knew whose pics they were and that I knew both of you. Anyway, hope this info is what you wanted. And TY again for the compli.
