@Trikunjs Thats for the advice, we will try this next time. We did not have any ear plugs, we were just saying that it is loud when you are that close.
like nateehapee said about the powershot SX40HS,I am considering the Fujifilm HS20EXR bridge camera for photography at Heathrow as well.Would it get me good pictures like the DSLRs? thanks
@concordetejas4576 Hi there, thanks for the comment. I have not used it personally but would say the Fujifilm would get pretty good shots. The spec actually looks quite impressive. Decent lens with image stabilization and a good zoom range and the 8fps continuous shooting is more than alot of DSLRs. Main benefit of a dslr would be more versatility through interchangeable lenses if you get serious but would need to spend the same again on a lens. So the HS20 EXR looks like a pretty good bet
@brightvisionmedia thanks for all your help over the past month.In the end I got a Canon EOS 1100D with 18-55mm kit lens so I got a DSLR in the end but have yet to buy a decent telephoto lens.I will probably get the 55-200mm (Tamron) because of it's price.
Sir, I have a question. :) Is it possible to get aircraft shots with a point and shoot camera such as Canon Powershot SX40HS in shutter priority or in manual? :) Thanks! :)
@nateehapee Hi. It is definitely possible to get some pretty good shots with that camera. It has a decent amount of zoom and image stabilisation so you should be able to get pretty close and have a fast enough shutter speed for some crisp shots. I would shoot in shutter priority. Good luck!
Hi i am looking to buy a Canon EOS 1000D for aircraft photography at Heathrow but am stuck between lens choice.I have two lenses in mind: a Tamron 55-200mm lens (the one in the video) and a Tamron 70-300mm lens.Which would be the better lens? thanks
@concordetejas4576 Hi, to be honest they are both good value lenses but if you are going to be fairly close to the flight path (like us) you probably won't need anything more than 200mm. Both these lenses are fairly slow so getting fast moving subjects above 200mm really requires quite a high ISO. I'd go with the 55-200 and it's worth paying the extra if you can get one with Image stabilization also.
Contrary to MrGoing Abroad I think the shots are fine, however if you are going to cut the wings do it right, so like the second Emirates A-380 shot at 1:31 the first shot of the boeing was not that good, but the one of the nose is very good. Otherwise it´s good to give an airplane room in the turn in the direction of the lift vector. Or the flight path.
@corsair6477 hi, the lens in this video was a tamron 55-200mm, but your kit lens should do a good enough job if you are going to be as close as we were. 200mm is only really needed for real close ups not full plane shots. Good luck

You should try to get the whole aircraft on shot and not just half of their wings. It's just a advice.
