Another Great Evening at STN 04/06/07

Hi mate, great photos!
I take it the place you took the shots from is only good in the evening?
…and is there somewhere to park a car?

Thanks!

Sorry, missed this reply after a very busy week! Yes the Sun is only good around the evening. You can start taking good shots around 4pm, but it isn’t really good til around 5-6pm.

There is about a 300 yard hedgerow running along the road where people stand, with plenty of room to park cars along the edge of the road!

Excellent shots mate love the first GSM, all are as good as each other really mate!

Excellent work, Dan

Thanks for the kind comments guys, much appreciated!

Alex answered Peter’s question about the lcoation nicely.

I’m afraid there is abolustely no public transport in sight. This spot isn’t even near a village or town at all, the closest you’ll get is the long stay car park and then it is still a good 3 mile walk along a 60mph (with most cars doing 80mph) narrow country road!

Is it necessary to have a car to get round to the vantage point ? Or is
there public transport that takes you some of the way (like close enough to walk the rest comfortably) ?

Thanks for swift reply and the location info – will give it a whirl next time I am down there.
Cheers,

Peter,

If you go all the way round the airport perimeter and work your way to Belmer Road, you’ll find a load of cars parked on the airport side of the road.
You can park there, and then walk south along the fence line, until you see a huge mound of earth, and you’re sorted. 😉 You shouldn’t get any hassle either.

Great pics BTW.

The other night enjoyed another Summer evening at Stansted in my new found favourite photography location.

Excellent set of piccies. Looks like an excellent spot you have found there. How do you get to/access the spot? -any problems with the authorities?
Cheers,
Peter

Excellent shots as ever mate, I like the Fedex MD11.

Awesome work as ever, Mr Nicholson! The Ryanair scheme always looks great in the evening light, especially Cable & Wireless!

Brilliant shots Dan like the RJ85 , AB Fokker 100 and teh Fedex MD-11F.

Cheers guys, much appreciated! Really looking forward to your eve at STN now Paul?! Should be a good’un….the light should also stay out long enough to catch the UPS 767’s moving (for about 2 weeks of the year sunset is late enough to catch one depart and one arrive….the rest of the year you’ll never see them move).

Excellent!

Liking all the Biz shots – in particular the Israeli one – nice catch with the nav light, 🙂

Very, very nice. 🙂

The Ryanair ‘Cable & Wireless’ – What a Beauty?!?!?!

Great work mate, keep it up 🙂

fab shots, love all of them. :diablo:

Splendid work, Dan. 😀

3 favourites….

And to finish it off, some seriously close-up action…
