Hello and welcome!
<br><br>
It is my pleasure to open up another month of contrails spotting discussion.
<br>
Except for our outstanding British mate and photographer contrailsUK, I would also like to encourage our Polish friends to share their thoughts and observations here. They will let contrailsUK know what we live with but will also let the rest of us improve our English language skills. It always pays back.
<br><br>
Great that days are longer and longer now.
<br>
With them the chances of shooting a nice well-exposed picture are growing again.
<br><br>
What I wish to each of us. <img src="http://picsrv.fora.pl/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" border="0"><br><br>
Yours,

<span style="font-weight: bold">contrailsUK</span> Very nice pics. Well, the scope still the same. I used to take photos with a webcam but since last two months I am a happy user of a new Canon 400D.
<br>

<br><br>
I can't find out what carrier/s is/are operating here. this photos aren't as good as Yours but both planes have characteristic red rear part of a hull, and the second one is MD11 <img src="http://picsrv.fora.pl/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" border="0"><br><br>
those photos were taken in Dublin in January, by my friend - soczus.<br>_________________<br>Canon 400D | 18-55 | Sigma 70-300 apo macro | Rubinar 10/1000 | Yukon 6-100x100 | Maycom AR-108
