Golden Hour at LHR
Golden Hour at LHR
Hi All,
A weekend in London after viewing the F-16's at Mildenhall allowed me the chance to have a crack at the Golden Hour. My main objective was the BA heavies as i seem to have spent the last 20 years watching them go by without actually photographing them !! As soon as took my camera out the clouds made a rapid appearance, this is what resulted in the time i had.

For me she's still the undisputed queen of the skies, but thats just my opinion before the 380 lovers castrate me.

I think they might be from the Radisson Paul / Mike but I believe you have to take through glass there and if that's the case that makes them even better as a photo achievement

Re: Golden Hour at LHR
do you mean the renaissance heathrow? the Radisson is on the other side of the bath road and no clear runway views from thereandygolfer wrote:ditto, excellent.Paultojo wrote:Great set as Mike asks where did you take them from

I would say it is from the business lounge on the third floor ot the renaissance or one of the third floor rooms
great shots by the way and if they are from the renaissance they are shot through the glass
Re: Golden Hour at LHR
Some very nice shots - even better if they were shot through glass!!

Yes, Rennaisance sorry - was getting confused with the Radisson at Stansted (which as far as I know is mno good for photography).

Re: Golden Hour at LHR
As a fan of the Renaissance I am guessing these would be from there - possibly from the east facing window found at the end of the long corridors as opposed to out of one of the rooms.
Nice shots

Re: Golden Hour at LHR
Bat 21 Wins !! Sorry not posted a reply, been unwell. They were indeed shot from the end of the corridor, level 2 of the Renaissance, luckily we had the room next to it so I was able to wait for something on finals and pop out, you have to be on the ball though as you get a 2-3 second opportunity before you are shooting through trees and lampposts. Not sure how long these kind of shots will be around for as the trees will no doubt grow.Bat 21 wrote:As a fan of the Renaissance I am guessing these would be from there - possibly from the east facing window found at the end of the long corridors as opposed to out of one of the rooms.

next time you go you will have to upgrade to a runway view suite, nothing like lying in bed taking pictures of arrivalsburnsy133 wrote:Bat 21 Wins !! Sorry not posted a reply, been unwell.

The room we had did indeed have a runway view, although found the windows to be that dirty any shots were almost impossible.
Re: Golden Hour at LHR
i'm not into close up /crop shots but the Uzbekistan 757 and Sri Lanka A330 shot's are just stunning!
