Having a look around all my recent pics, thought these may be of interest? All were going into Stansted at the time.
(Sorry about angle of King Air)
C&C welcome as always.

Hmm interesting, do you mind where abouts in Sawbridgeworth you took that 3rd Easyjet shot, the one turning on to the approach? And what zoom did you have? This is a potentially new angle for me to try with my 500mm, something I’ve not considered before at Stansted (you’d never think of taking shots 5-6 miles away from the airport in question!).

You guess correct. Some aircraft do give the impression of being lower than others as they go over especially the 747’s. 😀
The Fed Ex and Atlas are both evening shots, the King Air was mid afternoon.
A couple more from yesterday evening (around 6pm).

Interesting shots…these look like evening shots and with the sun on them that leads me to think you must be living somewhere on the RWY04 approach. And seeing as the landing gears are coming down that makes you somewhere near Sawbridgeworth I guess? It’s where I went to school and remember that’s where the landing gear would nearly always be extended on arriving aircraft!
