Night Time Plane Shots

It's that time of year again.  It is generally dark when I get home from work, so that means I need to try some nighttime shots.  This time I wanted to try something different, so I tried to get some nighttime shots of the airport.

 There is a spot at the main parking deck where you are overlooking some of the gates.  The spots are usually occupied by MD-88's and CRJs.  This particular plane is an MD-88 getting ready to head to Raleigh-Durham.

 For this picture, I was inspired by a picture on one of the aviation groups on Facebook.  He had a sunset shot of this terminal.  I thought a night shot would look cooler.

 The MD-88 from the first picture getting ready to take off.  This was a little trickier because the plane was moving.  Still, not too bad of an attempt.

 A Skywest CRJ-900 heading to San Antonio.  I like this one a little better but I thought the runways were a little better lit.

 A 757 coming in for a landing.

 After fiddling around with some of the settings.  This shot actually gives me a little hope.

And this one gave me the most hope of all of them.  A Skywest CRJ-200 heading to Escanaba. Since it was dark, I would say it ended up under the moonlight.
