Hi to all, it’s mine first post here, even though I had been lurking around clubsnap since 2002. I also used to be a regular photographer, but unfortunately, I completely stopped snapping photos when mine father (whom is a photographer himself) passed away three years back.

I did a search for any specific thread dedicated to aviation or plane spotting, and was unable to find a single one (please forgive me if there is already a existing thread on this). As such, the purpose of this thread is to allow all aviation enthusiasts to planned gatherings, post their aviation photos and share information.

To get the ball rolling, here's one photo taken this afternoon. I have an EF 300mm (f/2.8) prime lens, but that is currently with canon service center for some minor repairs, so the following photo is taken with a EF-S 55-250mm (which is not very sharp). Photos are uncropped and unprocessed, unless specifically stated as such.

Comments are very much appreciated.

Singapore Technologies Aviation Services CO (SASCO) . It's an aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company under Singapore Technologies: Aerospace (also similar to SIA Engineering Company). Our hangers are located approximately 500 meters away from the threshhold of runway 02L. I would love to take some photos in there, but cameras are not allowed.

BTW, i'm not sure if this is the approximately section to post this thread. Moderators, please take any actions as required. Thanks.

If you're into aircraft, maybe this website can help to satisfy your hunger for such birds?

It's mine 1st time using a CPL filter, and i'm still trying to get the exposure right. Any advise will be very much appreciated.

Well, good luck to you studies and future endeavours. I'm from the aerospace avionics course, BTW. Do read more, especially the forums in airliners.net.

Hi, been capturing the take-offs and landings for quite a while. Just to share some of my pictures. All taken with my 18-200mm VR lens at max focal length and at F8-F13. Have some problems posting it onto here, so attached the links here. Appreciate if you guys can give some C&C to make it better.

here's my take:

hey, tats the A380!!

here's my take:

i think for aviation pics...it is nicer if you fill the frame or put it on center...not too worry bout rule of third and etc...coz it is afterall "the main subject" and nothing else matter...coz the extra space on the side,to me rather...wasted in this contxt.just my 2cents...

 

[shaztech]

if you guys like aviation pics...try and google for "sp01l3r" he was a former SQ pilot,but retired now and back to mozambique i reckon.He was the one who encourage me to take good photos from the body and not to photoshop...

yah, believe it is up to the individual for framing of the subject. some like it right in the middle and some like to have extra spaces around.
