Scramble Messageboard

Yeah, the military ones were unexpected surprises. Especially on a weekend day. At the time of spotting the heron annoyed me, actually. I was hoping to get some decent pictures of an MD80 of Orient, but once it did show up so did the heron, one some pictures nicely in front of the big metal bird. On...

The Nok Air planes were pleasing. Guess every plane has its own specific c/s, with the beak on the nose and tail being a recurrent theme.

Here some pictures from my second day at Phuket. Started the same as the day before, with RWY27 in use, so the airplanes landing towards the Nai Yang Beach. No decent photo-opportunities. Lucky for me the Orient Thai Airlines MD-80 landed a bit long, so that it did offer a decently lit picture oppor...

Thanks for the nice words. The Navy push-pull was indeed an unhoped for catch. Biggest drawback: the plane is small and even with a 100-400mm lens it does not fill the frame from the good spotting positions for the airliners. The small size and limited sound emission made it difficult to spot it on ...

Pictures of my first day at Phuket are available in the Aviation Photo Forum. Link: http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=84741.

Sometimes on this forum you may as well just talk to yourself because no-one else seems interested. :cry: Sometimes true :). But I decided to post anyway, mainly to have the information somewhere, so that others (such as yourself) might benefit from it. And me as well. I tend to have a short memory...

While I am still pondering the picture issue, a log for 02/03/2012 at VTSP. Some of these planes can also be found in the log for 02/03 by Le Addeur Noir, but there are some more here. Also: this log is by no means a complete overview of the traffic of the day. It only contains planes I managed to t...

So, I went to Phuket at the beginning of March. The only information I started out with was that a great photo spot is at the Nai Yang Beach. I asked the people running the hotel I stayed in how to get there, and it turned out to be only at the end of the street where the hotel was located. More a l...

Well, just as for my BKK topic, I am also wondering if there would be any spotters on site in Phuket on 2nd and 3rd of March. I will be there and hope to take some nice pictures of aircraft. If the wind direction helps me a little bit I know there is the possibility of great approach shots over the ...

With the recent attempted bomb attacks in Bangkok,discressoin is advised. I forgot about that one. Unfortunately for me the attempts took place after I planned everything. I hope I can still do something, though, or I should start working on a backup plan... BKK should be on runway 19.If that is th...

I know this might be on a pretty short notice, but I will be in Bangkok on February 29th and March 1st. Then I will be away for two days, and back at Bangkok on March 4th and 5th (the latter not the entire day). I am free those days and I would very much like to spend the free time I have to do plan...

Voor mij is dit niet het zoveelste topic om de pro en cons van een lens uit te vogelen. Ik zie dit momenteel meer als een vraag die me ook moet helpen om m'n gedachten op een rij te krijgen voor een vervanging. Situatie: Ik heb nu een Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, die ik gebruik in combinatie m...
