thanks for the comments… very kind:D
VeeOne, yes it was 27L i started off in the field at Cains Lane, then as the sun moved round went to the field at Myrtle ave done some head ons there as sun was straight down their noses! then over to hatton cross station area for the rest as the sun was setting. for 27R landers the only place i go is near the industrial estate at the front of BA maintenance where aircraft used to cross the road.. not so good for parking though.. luckily,as a courier i can get access to the estate and park the van there..tbh when on 27R i tend to just go to the garage near T5 (near threshhold of 09R) and shoot take-offs off of 27L, get some awesome shots especially of the heavies just after rotation from there.
cheers again

Nice action shots, Tartan. Love the low sun effect when the landing runway is 27. Was this 27L? Where would you go to take photos when the landing runway is 27R?

Very nice work. Those A380 shots are great, especially the close up, very dramatic. More anytime!:)
