Early morning spotting 8th Nov 05

[Syed A Ridhwan 0]

helu! hi everyone. blh join?

 

was at klia this morning, drop my dad for his flight to KBR. after that, i went straight to the Observation Hill. At the traffic light opposite the Petronas station, i saw a few people on the hill, so i thought maybe fellow spotters la, but later on when i reach there, they are just "foreign workers" doing some cleaning work on the hill.

 

hope you all dont mind ah, my pic quality very teruk. equipment kapcai

 

7am and its freeeeeeezing!!

 

Satelite pun tido..

 

yippee! a hibiscus! but dunno Papa Delta or Bravo

 

i was about to leave the hill for runway L, then suddenly i saw a plane landing. i was pretty sure its a 777, judging by the wingspan. get down from my car and waited for her to come closer, and i was like holy s**t!! yay! my first Heliconia!

China Airlines 737

 

Shenzen Airlines. Never see her before

 

the heat is building up as the sun goes higher. panas giler!

Hi Syed, thanks for the 7AM shot. At least I have some idea how would KLIA be like at that time.

 

It seems at that time is still not photography friendly.

Syed,

 

Thanks for sharing your pictures; really enjoyed them...a few airlines not shown before, were now in your listing: it pays to go to KLIA early, it seems

 

That TG 777 engine middle-section looks like a CX colour to me

[Syed A Ridhwan 0]

stopped a Petronas opposite Sepang Int. Circuit for breakfast and fuel up my car for journey back to Shah Alam. left the station, drove slowly at 70km/h, then suddenly hands felt itchy . i quickly made a left turn into the pond (before KLIA mosque roundabout) and parked my car near the approach lights. tadaah! 9M-MRJ greets me there!

 

TK, is that you?

 

next, baby boeing.. the 737-400 (9M-MMI) oi! Radzi! u there?!

 

SQ's second 777 in the same morning, 9V-SRD

 

and finally, my final shot before i leave, AK (9M-AED)

 

left the pond area about 930am and head straight to home. reached my house at 1015am. gosh! what a hot day!

 

thank you for viewing. my pics quality is not that good i need a DSLR!! hopefully can get one next year *keep hoping*

 

cheers guys!

Nice collection of the day, Syed

 

But early morning from Weather Station...

wooo... facing the sun .. photographer's nightmare

but from some of your shots... can get good effect...

But you'll loose details on the "shadow side"

@Chaity

what camera are you using? damn cun man ur pics! saw them on the other thread of yours. i believe it is taken at the pond area, right? where did you stand? or what the distance between yourself and the approach ligths? i think i was too close, thats why i always get belly shots

 

@Meor

what time is ur awek's flight? (awek or aweks? how many laa?) AK or MH? i was at the weather station from 730am - 900am. my dad's flight was at 740am, AK. i live in Seksyen 25, dekat Kota Kemuning.

 

@Norman

exactly! i hitam already lesson learnt. do not face the sun when spotting. wkat kind of good effect you're talking about? today, many of my shots have blurred background. it gives sort of a speed effect la kononnya.

 

@Ibrahim

busy? yes! but mostly 737's

[Min Chun 0]

nice nice shots...likes all the 777 shots..

[Walter Sim 1]

fantastic ridhwan, they're not bad, they look excellent!

 

you one lucky bugger, heliconia and hibiscus in the same morning!

[Gavin Andrew David 6]

Nice set of shots . I like the SQ 777's

[Norman 1]

wkat kind of good effect you're talking about?

 

See those pix of yours from weather station...

look at the nose esp UPS & Fedex...

they have some "lighted" parts

it provides the contour of the nose

more like "backlighting" effect...

Syed, I am using Canon 300d. Those photos were taken near 32L. I was standing near the bend of the road and probably 50m from the approach lights.

[Radzi 2]

Syed, there is no such thing as a kapchai equipment. Your shots are showing great potentials.But of course, if you want a DSLR, we can't stop you.....Just choose your side. (The dark side is showing great potential these days)

 

Meor, looking at your avatar, is it a B732 sim?........ Or else, some AK 733 are non EFIS. And you're wearing black shirt..... Your awek in red miniskirt?

Nice shots Syed..

[Ricky Tiong 0]

Great shots Syed.

 

Maybe your shots are not as sharp as some we've seen here. But that's not important. The most important thing is you enjoyed your spotting (and we enjoyed your photos).

 

Share some more if you've got anymore.
