If you want a picture of an airport terminal with planes on every gate, there’s only one time to get there – the crack of dawn! Flights start leaving ABIA at 6am and by 7:30 or thereabouts the majority of the gates are empty. Thankfully, this time coincides with sunrise during the summer here so that meant good light and lots of aircraft for the two early morning shoots I did out there.
This image was taken from the apron after walking far enough away from the truck that was driving me around that the yellow rotating light on its roof didn’t impinge on the long exposures. After getting this, we high-tailed it over to the control tower to get up to the top before real sunrise so that we could capture some panoramics of the whole complex with good light.
Terrific image, the composition with the large swath of sky above is perfect.

Thanks, Wayne. I was shooting this job with a view to the images being used in a magazine-style layout so many of them have large negative spaces somewhere in the frame over which a designer could place paragraphs of text.
This is a great shot! ABIA could use this for advertising, it would be awesome!
