AERLINGUS_747-100_EI-ASI_JFK_0910_JP_small.jpg1369 viewsIt's hard to describe the love I have for these photos. This photo, taken 22 years ago was on cheap Ektachrome slide film, developed at the local drug store. I was able to restore it to its full glory after massive color correction, scratch and dirt removal- lots of work but well worth it. This beautiful Aer Lingus 747-100 just touched down on runway 31R and went long, to the delight of this photographer (most airplanes turn off earlier and this type of photo is not possible)

Note that the runway is actually much closer than it looks due to using wide angle lens for this photo
