True with the hawaiian but I like the new Alaska livery more. Its so slick and its the northern lights to I like the concept. I dont think it would look as good on the 737 though.

You should look into getting a DSLR if you have the ability too. Game changer for me for all sorts of hobbies and interests like planes, trains, birds and animals, plus just some lovely scenery shots when you’re out and about :slightly_smiling_face: .

Less professional but can still yield good results, just higher-end phones. iPhone 16 pro can yield genuinely good results for aircraft that would seem to be similarly far from the airport as those that he shows. The following are grainy but at least have nice zoom, and I imagine if I was trying to get a good shot I could do significantly better. If not incredibly interested in the photography aspect and more the planes bit, an iPhone is a good option cause will also be useful outside photography, and nice cameras are still expensive.

All my JFK photos from my trip last September were from my iPhone 16 and it does look good.

E.g.

And FRA on the return,

Just the zoom is grainy whereas my DSLR isn’t and I do love my distance. Had a little holiday with some friends a couple of years back to a spot near Inverness and I spent several hours sitting in some moss in a forest getting some fab photos of Coal Tits making their nests, which I wouldn’t have got with a phone as they’d have left lol.

Camera photo (Robbed from above as I couldn’t be bothered hunting down my SD card converting USB dongle thing lol).

Actually, loaded it up. Here’s 4 other photos not so much plane related lol. I love my photography, my iPhone 16 can’t get this sort of quality at distance,

Can fully agree though if photography isn’t an interest. Try building up those skills with your phone and then see whether moving on is something of interest. I like your ANA seaplane photo.

Most of these just from one trip lol. Up close it can take really nice photos.

the floatplane and the ANA 787 photo is kinda insane.

if it were taken with a nice camera and all it would be genuinely amazing haha. I happened to be in the vicinity of the Kenmore Air Lake Union base, and also directly under the seatac approaches, so it was kinda lucky but worked out.

I have a Oppo Reno 15 Pro for a month, and I think it’s on Samsung S26 or iPhone 17 level, with it‘s camera, but it’s price is much lower.
