Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hello guys here are some pictures of the second day I spend at Heathrow. Today the weather was not that great so we decided to stay inside the hotel (Renaissance London Heathrow Hotel). Again all of these pictures are trough 2 layers of windows without a tripod. Enjoy!

Nice to kick-off when eating breakfast I must say. Emirates A380 reversing on runway 27R.

Old coloured Thai Boeing 747-400. I prefer the new ones.

Then the rain came in. I and don't mean just rain... All aircraft that want to depart had a minimum delay of 1:30 hour and landing aircraft were stuffed in the holds above the London Area. Landing aircraft were comming in slowly, made a picture of a Qantas Boeing 747-400 that was on approach when it started to rain. You can clearly see the rain comming of on top of the aircraft.

El Al Boeing 747-400 taxiing towards 27L, one of the aircraft that was lucky to leave the line of 60 planes that wanted to push-back.

Hi...

I read you took them through two windows but as far as I know this yellow stuff can be correct in PhotoShop.

Grtz.

Ok, I don't use photoshop only lightroom. Maybe it's possible there, normally I don't even post these kinds of pictures taken trough windows or whatever but just to give some people here a idea how it looked like from the hotel point of view. Nevertheless thanks for the tip.

I agree with Zipper, kill the yellow in PS ( or with white Balance adjustment ) and you have some real supershots :idea: :!:

The yellow is gone, but the rest of the colours are a little vague now. I finally found a way in lightroom to get rid of it. Thanks guys!
