The friendly folks at Malaysian Airlines organized an outing for bloggers and photographers where we get to take pictures of planes without playing hide and seek with the police. I'm not sure which laws prohibits you from taking pictures of a plane near the vicinity of an airport but a patrol car did came up to our group halfway through the session. Luckily the MAS peoples got it all sorted out.
Already blurry and dizzy due to lack of sleep, not to mention a substantial amount of alcohol intake just hours before, I reached the meeting spot at 7.30am. That's way earlier than going to work.
Our first shooting spot was a hill overlooking the runway.
Unfortunately, it was not the perfect spot as all the MAS planes taxi off into the other runway after landing and did not pass our way. The only plane that did was......
We switched to another spot where we can see the planes take off. Too bad we couldn't get over the fence.. it would have been awesome!!
The harsh morning sun provided us with a good opportunity for some silhouette shots..
I've panned bikes, cars, boats and humans...... this is the first time I took panning shots of planes..
(Aaarrggghh!!!! The fence spoiled the shot!!!)
Thanks again to MAS for the outing.
Hoping for a repeat in the near future...
