Hand Held at Northolt – 09May2012

I was going to go back to using a tripod with long exposures for this night shoot but with the Met office forecasting torrential rain (Ha,ha,ha) all evening, I decide to go hand held with multi frame high ISO noise reduction as it would be easier to help keep the camera/lens dry and move around in the naff weather. For the couple of times there was a passing shower, Hangar 4 was open as a shelter but as the rain was coming from the south, the hangars themselves acted as a rain break.Thoroughly enjoyed the evening and many thanks to Phil, Lee and everyone else, including the visiting squadron personnel, at Northolt.

A Room With A View…….from the third floor of the hotel. The tube trains, being electric, are quite quiet but the main line diesels made the most noise. Fortunately they don’t run all night.
