If you know anything about me, one thing you know is that I am very passionate about aviation. I get a certain thrill just being around aircraft and certainly when I am provided the opportunity to photograph them well.

This particular scene comes from an evening of shooting photographs near Boston’s Logan airport. There’s many photos from this location (and even this set) that I think are fantastic, so I wouldn’t be surprised if you see more. With this one in particular, I like it for a few reasons. It isn’t terribly organized, and one of my shots even provides a better picture of that 757 in the foreground, but I like the depth that the second plane provides. The focus is great, and the backlit part of the skyline is excellent. In a few other photos from this series you can make out even more downtown buildings, and even see the light coming through individual windows in a few cases. Unlike many airports, where a shot at this distance would have grass or fences in between, the water provides a nice foreground, in my opinion.

This photo was taken with my old Fuji, which had great zoom and focus, but the pictures managed to be a little grainy from time to time.
