Fitri Shukri 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2005 Problems taking pictures in ZRH...???? Then they made this............. Spotting in ZRH is fun........it never ends... 17403[/snapback] Recomend this to Malaysia authorities and then they will think you are some kind of an Islamic party supporter! I think ZRH just show to other airport authorities that if you trust and respect spotters good enough, they will trust, respect and support you more. It really is a win-win situation. I doubt SIN can understand this philosophy though . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norman 1 Report post Posted December 1, 2005 Did somebody tried to climb thru the fence on the first pix (TK&Azman) Saw that the barbed wires been twisted... Nice pix Pieter... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azman MN 1 Report post Posted December 1, 2005 Norman, Barb wire twisted by spotters who bring their own ladder. They actually twist the wires together so that they get slightly bigger space to put their lens through. You can bet that the spotters who bring their own ladder would also be the ones with the 100-400 lens so they really need some space! Walter - dock E viewing gallery closed in winter probably because they do not expect many visitors. Dock B is still open, and in the summer they provide buses to dock E. I suppose with the cold weather, demand is quite low so they don't want to provide the buses. In addition, the real hard core spotters who don't mind the cold also think that the sun position from Dock E is not very good for photos. So cold weather plus lack of interest from hard core spotters = not much demand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
