Aircraft Landing

I have a couple of aviation shoots that I would like to do. I need the right conditions, so this may take some time. The first one is a sundown maybe sunset shoot. The second one is a night shoot, or should I say a blue hour shoot, with the moon in the background. This one is going to be difficult and may prove to be near impossible. I am using Stanstead airport, I am looking for places to get the angles right. Today I tried out two locations, both will work for the sundown shots but will not be good for the moon shots. The height of the aircraft is crucial as is the direction I shoot from. For this to work I will need a lot of things to come together, weather, cloud cover, light & timing. As I live down the road I will be able to get ready at short notice, so I am on a watching brief.  This is a few test shots for the location from today.

Aircraft arriving at Stansted


I have always had an enthusiasm for aviation so whenever I have the time I will stop and take a few shots of any aircraft. These are a few from just north of Stansted's main runway.
