===Hammond Place/Helicopter Area=== | |||
For rotorheads, the area around Hammond Place and its intersection with Ross Smith Ave. is pretty much the only place to view or photograph helicopters. There are a number of pads, from which a variety of different helicopters regularly arrive and depart. | |||
To get to this spot, drive south/west along Ross Smith Ave. (from the direction of the domestic terminal) until you reach Hammond Place on the right side. You can pull into Hammond Place and park on the side, out of the way. Walk around the fence surrounding the helicopter area to wherever you want to shoot from. | |||
Helicopters arriving and departing, as well as static helicopters, can be photographed from anywhere around the fence that surrounds the pads. Keep in mind that a ladder is necessary for shooting anything close to the ground. Photography here is good at any time of the day (except around midday), depending on where exactly you're photographing from around the fence. Approximate required lens focal length is 40 to 200mm. | |||
