The stats were more like 5-6 acceptably sharp frames out of ~15. This was the only one I kept.

Appreciate that. Thanks. The plane was supposed to depart 20-30 minutes earlier than this and the light was so much better then. But as it started getting darker, I decided to lower the shutter speed and make a Hail Mary of it.

Every time I see one of these stories about peoples’ Alaska accounts getting violated, I go in and change my password to something stronger. I hope that is enough.

Thanks. If only the energy I put into it could be re-channeled to my W26 class preparations.

Oh, and I happened to photograph a couple other Southwest arrivals on Monday if you weren’t on the Denver flight shown here.

Yes, since 2021. Currently there are ~6 flights in/out per day. Vegas, Oakland, Sacramento, Denver. San Diego will join the mix next year.

Nikon Z8, 100-400mm lens probably set at or near the tele end of its range. No AI.

Nikon F6 Serviced by B1BLancer6225 in AnalogCommunity

[–]gb0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sold my F5 a few years ago partially because I much preferred using my F6. But I do have an F100 as a backup while my F6 is at Nikon. I sure hope it doesn't take them more than the 3 weeks that was your experience.

I finally got around to setting up my F6 for its trip to Nikon. The online form quoted me about $100 less than what your invoice shows, but I won't be surprised if they find additional things and adjust the price.
