Kingsford Smith (Sydney) Airport, Mascot, NSW

OK, I may be belabouring the point with Emirates A380-800 (A380-861) A6-EDA, which is seen here on her takeoff roll and was seen taxiing back to the start of runway 34L in the previous two shots. The only reason that I've included this shot is that in this sequence I was practicing tracking her; trying to keep A6-EDA still in the frame while the background rushed by. Galileo's concept of relative motion incarnate.

And I more or less pulled it off too; at this size it's hard to see but in the full size image you can pick up on a bit of motion blur in the rocks. (You can see it better here in the far background.) I got a little bit ahead of the aircraft and clipped the tail as a result but at 150mm it's not a bad result if I do say so myself. Not perfect by any means, but this isn't something that I've had a lot of practice at yet.

And when Olympus called this a Pro lens, they really meant it.
