Heathrow - 23rd August 2010

Post by Ben Montgomery » Sat Sep 25, 2010 9:47 pm

A bit delayed getting these sorted - but then I've had over 1000 photos to sort from the holiday!

These were all taken from T4 at Heathrow on the morning of the 23rd August as we waited for our flight, which was UL506 to Colombo, Sri Lanka, flying 4R-ADE, an A340-300. Went with my family and good friend Phill (Phill318), who flew with Qatar. Spent a pleasant hour photographing, and very pleased to get 3 A380s as well!

All taken through the terminal glass with a polarizing filter. The glass made the edges of all the photos go soft, so all the noses and tails are (or at least, that's my excuse :P )

Few random movements first:

Our flight - just happened to end up at the gate right in front of us (we were sitting at Costa Coffee :lol: )

And playing with a Polarizer after takeoff:

Hope you enjoy!

PS - I'm assuming it is OK to take photos from inside the terminals? There were no signs not to, and everyone else was! Colombo International Airport is a different story....

I find T4 can be really good for photos.

Did you get any hassle at all? Reason I ask is that a few years ago waiting for a flight at EDI, taking pics through the window attracted a security bod who told me I couldnt do that

Late reply - sorry!

No hassle at all - didn't even see any security apart from at the scanners and stuff. Might have been lucky but there were quite a few guys with cameras out - maybe more relaxed now?
