Same here, they approached me previously and asked for a photo to use on Facebook. There's no way I was going to get anything back in return so I just let them use it with credit.

Jump to postHi all,
Can anyone please point out where the noise is in this photo? Also I'd say the fuselage is quite bright but I don't see where it's blown out. Any feedback appreciated, thanks.

This covers a little of what you are looking for. Discussion about SXM and associated services here:

I've only done it once and the biggest recommendation I have is to keep the shutter speed up. There are all sorts of vibrations going on and gusty winds if you're hanging out the side of the helicopter and I did loose a few shots to blurriness.
Jump to postI have flown with easyjet only a few times, but each time I'm amazed how wide the aisle is. Easyjet use the same seat width on their A320's as British Airways and most other legacy carries use on their 787's. On the A320 family the result is a very wide aisle, actually 40 % wider than on the 787. T...

Jump to postI just tried sigining up to this to take a look but unfortunately it's invitation only at the moment due to "high demand".
Jump to postI've been there in October a couple of times and got some great photos, although it's not as busy as it is in the high season. Mid week inparticular was pretty quiet.
I was there in mid October for my birthday and light was good from the beach bar side pretty much all day as far as I remember.

Jump to postI've lost count the number of times i've landed on 26R/08L. It has been used a far lot more in recent times than you might realise due to ongoing maintenance works on the 26L/08R. However it occurs primarily at night time.
Jump to postYou'll be in the perfect location to get those 27R touch down shots like the <acronym title="British Airways">BA</acronym> 777 you posted above, but they'll only be well lit in the summer evenings so you should be there around the right time. Will involve some lens through the fence shots so be awar...
Jump to postThe day that I did it, the marine layer of course rolled in but was only partially covering the airport so we were still able to go ahead with the flight. The terminal area was unobstructed so got plenty of great shots still. The marine layer actually contributed to one of my best shots of the day.
Jump to postThe light is still fine during the summer months but it's necessary to swap sides of the beach to get well lit photos. During the summer photos from the Beach Bar become backlit except maybe early in the morning when there are few or no flights around. So during the day you just need to go to the ot...

Jump to postOk, well if budget isn't an issue then I would suggest a DSLR and a good quality lens. What brand you go for is a very subjective issue on here, with camp Canon vs Camp Nikon being the 2 main players, with Sony and the others snapping at their heels. I think it boils down at the end of the day, choo...

Firstly it will depend on your budget, and secondly, what is your intended use for the photos. Are you going to upload them to the aviation website...

Jump to postI would have gone with the 70-200 and then when funds allowed added a 1.4x converter in at a later date. This is what I do with the 2.8 version and i've been using that combo since 2006.

Jump to postWill have to take a look into that. However, these days the ramp is basically just Fortress Orange during the daytime. Shame there isn't the variety of traffic that there used to be.
Jump to postThis is quite an interesting lens for me as I've been looking for something longer to compliment my 70-200+1.4x set up for some while (ie years) without costing an arm and a leg.
I'm looking forward to seeing some aviation examples with this lens.
