Hey fellow spotters! I'm planning a trip to London Heathrow (LHR) soon, and I'm super excited to do some serious plane spotting there. I've heard it's one of the busiest airports in the world, and I can't wait to capture some amazing shots.
For those of you who've been spotting at LHR before, what are your favorite spots? I've heard about Myrtle Avenue being a classic choice, but are there any other hidden gems or lesser-known locations you would recommend?
Also, any tips on the best time of day for lighting and traffic would be greatly appreciated. I'm particularly interested in catching some long-haul giants like the A380 and 747, especially from airlines like British Airways, Emirates, and Qatar Airways.
Lastly, if anyone has suggestions on what gear to bring, I'd love to hear that too. I'm currently using a Canon EOS 90D with a 100-400mm lens. Is that sufficient, or should I consider renting something else? Looking forward to your insights and maybe even meeting some of you there!
