What setup you got?

I pass there every now and again, do you stand in that grass section opposite Hatton Cross?

 

[Ribena]

nice shot! I think it would look better if you cropped the trees out.

I have a nikon D80 with a nikor 18-70 lense at the moment. Was running shutterspeed 800 and apatite or 5.7 I think. Iso 100. It's my first Dslr!! I have no idea how the hell to use Photoshop or how to edit photos at the moment!

I was standing on the grass bit but I don't make a habbit of it LOL. I just like getting to grips with this camera at the moment! I'm also looking at getting the nikor 55-200 lense soon so I can get more detail on stuff as the 70 just isn't enough for me!!

Thanks for the comments guys

Try using Adobe Lightroom for processing, quick and easy. Then you can use Photoshop later for more detailed post production.

Have a look at the Nikkor 70-300mm AF-S VR lens if you're looking for a telephoto. That way you have 18-300mm focal lengths covered. Just a thought! =)

The 300 is mega money from what I have been told :-(

Nice shot ... I'm there sometimes, give me a shout if you ever need help - it's one of my hobbies!

No, I'm not a spotter! Just an enthusiast .. that's my excuse anyway!!

The BA shot looks good

 

[kevin_172]

as i said im so new to all this stuff... 18-70 lense just dont cut it at the distance i was having to stand at!

 

[Tigger]

Not bad for the lens you have, I have a 18-250mm Tamron for my D40

 

[5parky]

[Hutchie]

I like the wide angle A380 landing shot ...

LOL at all the chemtr.... I mean contrails above LHR. Never seen the Emirates A380, looks better than the SIN livery I reckon. Qantas' is the best though.

I wish I lived closer to LHR, I could sit there for hours.
