A Photo Report – The Qantas First Class Lounge - Sydney




A Photo Report – The Qantas First Class Lounge - Sydney

I’ve started at a new client and it involves flying to Auckland now and again. To be honest, I love Auckland but travelling between Australia and New Zealand is such a pain in the bum it’s not something that I like to do on a regular basis. However, this time I was lucky enough to score an invite to the Qantas First Class lounge from a very kind colleague who said that she wasn’t going to use it and that I’d be able to make the most of it! Suddenly this trip was looking much more appealing!

I arrived just after many of the European flights had been called and subsequently the lounge was deserted. At one point I actually had the place to myself. This gave me a unique opportunity to take my time photographing the lounge without worrying about disturbing anyone. The staff were more than obliging too.

I used my recently acquired Nikon D800 to take these and Adobe Lightroom 4 to process them.

Enjoy!

Magnificent pictures!
Who needs words for a trip report when the images can tell the story.

You should see if QF want any more promotional pics for the F lounge....

Qantas should hire you to shoot photos for their lounge promotional materials!
