Title: Helsinki Vantaa Airport 10/02/2012
Post by: Dave on February 12, 2012, 10:33:41 AM

Here's a few snaps from a VERY cold Helsinki Airport, finally caught one of the much elusive Nordic Global Airlines MD-11F's for once.  :)  Excuse the poor editing, they were edited on an old 10inch netbook.

The light was very odd, most of the photographs were taken with an exposure of + 1 2/3 (1.66), where as normally +1/3 or +2/3 is enough.

Great Shot`s Dave,my favourite is the ATP.

How did your feet cope with the cold?

Well worth the effort for the 11 alone

Cheers guys!
 
Angry, the feet wern't too bad actually, I had large proper snow boots this time so whilst the toes did go a little cold, nothing too bad. I had kept your suggestion to mind from the last time :) It was the hands that suffered, had to whip the mittens off each time something landed as focusing with mittens on was impossible. And I was happy with the ATP as well, first time I've had a chance to actually photograph one despite it being one of my favourite aircraft.
