Two from Will Rogers Airport

Tried my hand at getting some aircraft on approach. Unfortunately OKC is not the busiest airport on the planet but I made off with a few. C&C welcome.

I'm on my phone but I see a bit of color fringing which I e resolved by faster shutter speeds. Try 2000 to eliminate that then try slower and look around the wings for weird color shifts. Good exposure, shadows and sky overall.

I normally find a location. Beyond the airport to get them on approach, or even use an app like. Flight aware. And learn their approach patterns in various conditions. Then you can get them in a final turn for final approach. And proper positioning beyond the end can make it look like they are going to land on you.

If you check my Flickr pages in my link you can find a bunch of examples. I try to get pictures from the front of he plane of them coming rather than the side or of them flying away.
