BOEING 747-8 (D-ABYD)
I’ve been taking picture at this location for the past 12 years now, and over that time those palm trees have grown and grown. Having said that… timing is now critical to get the entire AC in the shot. I made 4 other attempts before finally getting a perfectly framed shot like this one.

Great shot, beautiful color.
Super photo -
hey mate, you wouldn't happen to have that photos in HD so i can use it as my desktop background? it combines my love of Airplanes and my love of in-n-out
I just love this shot! I think it's worth the twelve years it took you to get the perfect opportunity and I'm glad you didn't give up! The palm trees being tall as they are give the photo some added depth IMHO. Congratulations!
Nice shot!
Great place to enjoy a burger and fries while you're doing a little spotting.
Fantastic shot, thanks for sharing.
Very well done! Nice framing, ideal afternoon and of course a great subject!
Nicely done.
Popular spot in LAX; beautiful picture well done
Superb shot of the 747-800. May I know the actual location of the In-N-out burger joint ? Would like to visit that location for plane spotting and photo taking. Thanks
This is the address: 9149 S. Sepulveda Blvd. Los Angeles CA. 90045. Just to let you know. Runway 24R will be closed from June 1, 2015 through October 2015 for runway upgrades. That is the runway closest to the In N out. So photos like the one above will not be possible during that time. Paul
Paul, Thank you for sharing the information. Much appreciated. Take care.
Awesome! Love it...I-N-O, 747, what can be better? :)
Very good job, nice framing. I shoot birds so I understand perfectly how difficult it is, very same challenge.
...well, not so funny for me – I "invented" that shot...and now of course, I'm going to get flack for saying that, but...I never saw anybody having taken this type of shot before I did – (and meta data could of course prove that) – and then I got to see it copied in a California magazine...not funny
There is nothing "intuitive" or obvious about this shot, you see...and I wondered, as I was taking them, how long it would be before anybody else would try to do same and I often tried to "check" if anybody saw me doing it...that is, among "plane poppers"...
The difference with my shots are that they are better taken...better processed and if you are a photographer yourself, you cannot be in favor of copying other people's work...so caution yourself.
If you want to see my images you can find them on flickr...I "slowed down" uploading to flightaware, since there was no sense whatsoever to the "scoring" – anything and everything could get "4.5 stars"....I mean...come on...
I understand that you cannot "own" views, but when something if obviously plagiarized, it sure as heck is ok to point it out....

Really… you invented this shot? What a bold and arrogant statement that is. I said I have been shooting this location for the last 12 years and that is the truth. I made no claims I was the first… just that I have been shooting there for that amount of time. All you have to do is go to Airliners . net and you will have your proof! Go ahead and look at my photos from 2003 on and you will see a variety of shots from the In N Out area including ones just like the shot above. Next time before you start attacking someone about what you believe is your “Invention” make sure you have your facts straight. Oh…BTW I have an opinion too. For me the shots you have posted that are similar to mine (your oldest one on this site is 2 years ) could have been cropped tighter as the AC looks way too distant. Quite sloppy as well as portions of the AC are blocked by the palm trees.
Very nice catch and shot! Do those aircraft come that close? If so I deffianatly would like to visit there some day!
Great shot!
Haha....I have also taken several shots at this IN N OUT burger restaurant!! It is a real joy to eat a Double-double with seeing all the final approaches! :)
I have been myself and it offers some awesome pictures
AMAZING!
