Forum rules
This 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. |

London Heathrow from ATC tower
Hello everyone,
I just returned from the UK last night. Have just quickly edited three photo's. I know the quality could be better and I need to photo shop them a little better but I just couldn't keep them to myself any longer.

Re: London Heathrow from ATC tower
The angle is probably not as spectacular to me as it is to many others, but I like your shots.

Re: London Heathrow from ATC tower
We entered the tower. There are two lifts, one on the inside and one on the outside of the building. We took the outside lift because it had a window with great views.
The views were stunning! The weather had been very dull all morning but luckily it cleared up a little bit. We were able to see all arriving/landing/taxiing planes. It was breathtaking, photo's do not discribe it as well as I remember it.
We stayed for over two hours until we had to get back again. A life time Xperience 4 me.
PS: If anybody can advise me with changing the colours of the photos (they seem rather green to me) please let me know.
More to come,
Miles Copping

Re: London Heathrow from ATC tower (photo heavy)
Great shots! Stunning views! And this is in the Auto mode, just wait until you use RAW. Then getting out the green as you correctly stated will leave more info in the picture, now you have to adjust the JPG with your CS3 PS version.
(=> Click on the black/whithe circle in the layers palette and select Curves. There from the roll out menu select the green channel and pull the upper right dot in that diagram a little downwards, just a tad. Check the other 2 colors Red and Blue just to be sure. You will need a bit of practice with this. Check WB while you are at it and voila, a simple correction with big results)
