Aviation Photographs by Doug Johnson
Welcome
Hi, welcome to my collection of photographs. I started many years ago with a "Zorki 4K" and moved onto several Pentax SLR's before starting on the Canon EOS range. In 2001 I went digital when I bought a Fuji 4900 zoom. In 2003 I sold that camera and purchased a Cannon EOS 10D which I still use today. I hope you enjoy the collection as it grows.

A blast from the past. taken on a very old digital cemera, it was my first go with a digital (Fuji 4900) and boy can you see the difference with todays digital SLR. Some of it is a little rough.

A great afternoon spent in the park at Myrtle Avenue under the upproach to 27L at London Heathrow.

A few shots during a visit to the Air and Space museum 'Downtown' Washington DC, USA. Need to go back now to do the one near Dulles.
17th Mar 2005Washington DC - Ronald Reagan National Airport
I managed to get just under and hour under the apporach to runway 18 at Washington DC's National airport.

There is a park just under the approach where you can watch and photograph the incredible river approach.

When the winds are from the south the aircraft make a last minute sweeping right turn for landing over the park.

A mixed day at Schiphol with sunshine and showers. At least its is still a good place for DC10's and MD11's.
5th Jun 2004Bristol International Airport - Lulsgate
Popped up for about an hour to see if photography was possible now the fencing was in place. I am pleased to say with a small ladder it is still possible although care is needed to avoid some objects.
30th May 2004Bristol International Airport (Lulsgate)
Some shots taken at Lulsgate, from one of the best photographic locations in the country. Well that was until the very high fence was installed. Security again ruins the fun for the majority.
