You can shoot outside the airport. I don't mean inside the airport .. All around it theres cool areas ... Theres a wendys right across on airport road if you sit near the north window you can see 747s fly right by the window etc

I was just there 2 days ago. Terrible weather though as the skies were all grey. But yeah.. that's an excellent spot, it's on Airport Road and Orlando Drive. Will have to go back another day.

If you are there on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays at 3.45 pm, you can catch the Airbus A380 from Emirates Airline. You might also want to check Air Traffic Control as they switch runways sometimes if you want to catch the A380. I got there and they switched runways, so I didn't get to photograph the A380 :(

Here are some of mine:

Smoke from the tires due to friction when the plane lands:

Air Canada as it flies over the runway guides:

Up-close underbelly shot of Air Canada as it flew right over me:

Climbed on top of a tractor to shoot over the fence :D
