Another New Year came and went… and now we find ourselves in 2014.
Like most people, I get a little
nostalgic at this time, reviewing the year that was. Being smack bang
in the middle of high cost of living, doesn’t help with the nostalgia at all, I
must admit. But looking back on the previous 12 months, there were
good times, and there were not so good times. There were struggles and
trials and triumphs and heartaches… just like every other year. I do
find myself at the end of December saying such things as “well, I for
one am not sorry to see the end of 2013″. But to be honest, I think I
say that every year. With a brand new year on the horizon, my thoughts
turn towards hopes and dreams… fulfilling all that still remains undone…
and planning for a better future with each new resolution.
::: To answer the question "What's a plane
spotter ?" we must go back in time and go back to the roots of spotting
aircraft over 60 years ago. For those of you who want the short version
click here.
::: During WW II the Royal Air Force used a
large number of volunteers to observe incoming aircraft. Due to the lack
of sophisticated radar equipment at that time, the information gathered
by these observers was critical in planning and executing defensive
counter air operations. The volunteers of the Observer Corps where the
first true aircraft spotters trained in recognizing aircraft, their
colors and their distinctive markings and codes.
::: Today aircraft spotting is fortunately a
peaceful hobby for many people. There are many different ways to
practice this hobby. Some people are interested in civil aviation while
others prefer the military branch. Some are only interested in
operational aircraft, while others enjoy going to museums and watch
preserved planes. Some “don’t do” transport aircraft while others “do”
only fighters.
::: Among these people you will find different
kind of spotters. Some people just like to watch, some are
photographers, others write down the aircraft registration number or
listen to air band frequencies on their radio or scanner. Of course a mix
of these specialties is a familiar sight among the spotters. Let us
look at these different specialties and find out what it is all about. In my case as a hobbyist photographer .
::: Photographers are probably the biggest
group if you look at the different ways to practice the hobby of
aircraft spotting, although there is a strong connection with the
‘Number-Writers’, but more on that later. Photographers can practice
their hobbies also in many different ways. Some try to take a picture of
every aircraft they see, while others only take pictures of aircraft in
a (near) perfect position, situation or weather. There are people who
hate static aircraft shots. They want speed, action and agility. Their
challenge is to get that split second action shot of a fast-moving jet.
Others prefer a aircraft parked spacious, with sun (most important), no
barriers, stepladders, people or ‘remove-before-flight’ streamers.
Here a set of photographs that I spotted and I am using lens 70-300mm.
Aircraft spotting, also known as plane spotting, is a popular pastime
worldwide. As a hobby, it brings a number of enjoyable elements for the
participant, including getting outdoors,
making meticulous observations, "collecting" without creating clutter,
having a good excuse to use your really fancy digital camera equipment,
and finding a great way to get together with like-minded enthusiasts.
The activity itself is generally free, although if you join a club, and
buy all the related goodies, there may be some costs involved.So, you have decided to start plane spotting. That’s great, welcome to our hobby! You have already picked out a great camera and lens,
but what else do you need to become a master plane spotter? Sure, you
could just sit near your favorite airport and hope something good flies
by, but you can do more….much more.

If you’re a travel addict, this type of view is quite familiar to you. It yields both the excitement and joy that come with taking off to see some cool place and the sadness and melancholy of saying goodbye to a destination you’ve fallen in love with. Seeing the world form a window plane gives you some perspective on life, our times and each of our paths. In the end, if you look from far away, everything seems reduced to a bite-sized, easy to tackle challenge. Even traveling around the world! It’s just a big round ball of travel delights, our world, isn’t it? .I took this photo during my trip in Malaysia.
Here’s a quick set of tips for those of us lucky enough to be taking a
trip in a plane and wanting to get the classic ‘out of the window shot’
that often is featured early in a travel photo album.
