Wooo,
this is starting to sound like an airliners.net Airbus vs. Boeing discussion board.
Then again this isn't airliners.net - shots don't have to be that perfect Eurofighter shot with the Swiss Alps in the background, or that beautiful Kai Tak approach with a 747.
I have a variety of stuff - some that the quality is $h!+ - that I took when I was 10 years old with a Kodak Disc camera - but that is where I got some Pan Am, Eastern and other defunct carrier shots. I had a decent film camera during late 80s and early 90s, but a not so good scanner that left a funny line through my pictures when they scanned, then I had a crappy Nikon point and click that left even my perfect sunshine and perfect angle shots looking grainy - all of those shots on here.
I can't help getting clouds in my shots - some people don't live in perfect weather all the time like west coast areas where they have blue skies almost all the time. I live in the Sunshine State, which is ironically also the Lightning Capital - so my afternoons here from May - Sept are pretty much shot everyday due to either a storm cloud blocking the sun, or an actual storm occuring nearby which pretty much kills the sun. Unfortunately, mid afternoon is when the best aircraft come to MCO also and the busiest operation is summer. Once the weather gets nice like it is here now, airline service really reduces itself at MCO.
I know my first 5000 or so photos on here were anything goes - but I am only going to post "poor quality" stuff if it is something really rare or old - anything common - ie Cessna 172s, Southwest 737s (with exception of special paint SWA planes) is going to have to be of much better quality for me to post it.
Anyway back to the original post - Zane - congrats on hitting 7,000. I thought I had 7,000 at this time last year, but I guess that was when I hit 10,000 - I made my 10,000th shot a special shot by taking a picture of the A380 when it visited MCO on a trial run.
I think when I was at 7,000 I was battling Doug Robertson for top spot on here. We were playing chicken with each other around 6,000-7,000 for a while.
