Heathrow 8-4-05 (lots of pics!)

I advise you to take something to stand on – 30% of my holding point shots had fence in the corners of them

Unless you are taller than 6ft in which case you can see over the fence with ease (unlike these two) 😀

Hiya all,

Let me first start off by thanking you all for the comments – greatly appreciated. – Im in the stages of editing some more pictures now which I hope to have on the forum by the end of the night. 🙂

Skylad: I’m using a Canon 300D with a Sigma 50-500mm lens whacked on the end of it – though really by looking at these shots, you wouldn’t think so. 🙁 Me and the bad weather don’t get on.

Mark – Yes I see what you mean about the date. Lol .

Deano – Yeah it’s a good spot where Mark told us to go – very much worth trying out, but the heat haze gets very bad at times there, with the aircraft holding in the same area the heat builds up rapidly. The chain link fence – if your like me with some fat arse lens – will be a problem, I advise you to take something to stand on – 30% of my holding point shots had fence in the corners of them…. If you have the smaller digital camera like the other guys do, then you’ll be fine… as you can get the lenses through the fence gaps with ease.

ah ok thanks Mark, I’ve never given it a try for fear of being arrested 🙂

And a certain Mr Lewis was nearly arrested last week 😀

Deano, its quite easy to shoot through the chainlink, the holes are wide enough to get decent shots through.

Great shots Andrew, but how did you get the airside shots without actually being airside? I thought the chainlink fence would stop any decent photos

I’ll try and get mine up shortly, on a different thread so bmistar wont moan at me 😀

And did i moan? No, cos your ones were just as good Mr Lewis 😀

wow, love the 757s and that BWIA scheme!!

I agree they’re great shots, but that BWIA livery is ghastly

😎 🙂

Great stuff Andy, you coulda made some excellent shots with the light we had later on in the evening!

Oh and Andy, its May now, April is long gone 😀

Absolutley stunning shots! Well done

Those are some fantastic shots!

Have to agree with everyone above, excellent ‘graphs. What camera/lenses were you using?

Stunning shots liked the one with them all lined up

I have to agree with the above comments. An absolutely excellent assortment of photographs. My only disappointment is that you didn’t post anymore! 🙁

Great shots there

Nice meeting up with you again Andy. Sadly shortly after you left we got the rain and some even worse lighting conditions, however after almost throwing in the towl we were rewarded with some lovely light from about 1700. I’ll try and get mine up shortly, on a different thread so bmistar wont moan at me 😀

I think these are some of your best photos so far Andy. Well done !!! 😀

Your going to have to show me some of those spots when next I’m down? 😮

Nice pics – heat haze looked to be a problem for the ground shots though!
