Hi everyone,
Well, not the evening are pretty long it allows me to get out some more and do photography.
I now live sort of closer to Heathrow and have really enjoyed spotting there over the past year.
My issue is when taking morning approaches on 27L. I take photos from Myrtle ave.
Here is the issue. When because of the relative position of the sun there are large glints coming off the aircraft fuselages. Is there a way to avoid these?
The attachments of the ANZ 777 show this. The first one has a huge glint along the fuselage, whilst the second was taken a few seconds later and the glint is gone.
Now, I know what you're thinking - just wait a few more seconds and the glint disappears! But sometimes this isn't possible such as when shooting with a longer focal length (for example, I find 27L approached very difficult to shoot with my 100-400L IS if there is haze and sunshine causing glints). This also means that I have to wait until the aircraft is basically sideways-on to me instead of a 3/4 view.
This effect is also seen on cockpit windows such as the 787 photo below.
p.s. only the middle image is edited in any way, the others are to illustrate the point
Thanks for your help!
