[Leica] IMG: Other Airport Scenes

[Jim Nichols]

On a nice, sunny Saturday afternoon, there are a lot of things going on 
at the airport.  Despite what the EXIF data may say, these were shot 
with a 200 mm Pentax Takumar, set up to see how it would work from a 
distance on my monopod.

After hauling two loads of jumpers to jump altitude, normally around 
14,000 ft, the Twin Otter was ready for some fuel.  The Saturday crew 
responded, using the Jet-A truck.

I had difficulty keeping the jumpers in the frame, but got reasonable 
detail.  They move faster than one thinks when watching from a distance.

The foreshortening caused by the long lens makes them appear a lot 
closer together than they were in reality.
