Plane Spotting with the Canon 200 mm 2.8 L II

With myriad of sites and galleries being filled daily with new photos of the airliners it's just natural that I wanted to try the waters (or the skies) too. My 200 mm prime lens has come extremely handy with shooting upwards. Although it is not a recipe for the great shot guaranteed, the lens brings the planes a little closer and draws them nicely and sharply.


This one was taken at the extension of the runway, possibly 200-300 m after actual take off.
