Tried LAX yeterday. Great stuff to shoot but I paid the price.
Last trip.

The last shot was taken way after the light was lost at 7:56pm

A few more...

Sooo, you're shooting again?

I was motivated to try to see if shooting from the parking lots would be doable. If so, that would mean that I'd be able to shoot El Centro along Aten and the canal roads as well as Nellis action from the Speedway and Cheyenne.

I said, ""Last trip," to keep it simple.

Expanded version:
Until about 3am this morning, my legs, feet and even toes had been cramping up badly due to over working them and lack of circulation to them below the knees.
More than once on Sunday, I had to just sit things out because of a lack of endurance due to my heart.

All in all I am pleased with what I was able to shoot (the BAW 747 and UAL 737 are among the best airliner shots I have taken).
However, I have been painfully disappointed that, healthwise, it was a failure and has shown me that my limitations are much more severe than I would like.

Stick a fork in me... I'm done.

Well, I hope you are able to make it out to at least a few events in the future. Take it easy.
