HKG Spotting

Real World Aviation Spotting
1

I had some time to do spotting a couple of months ago, but I never bothered sorting the pictures until now.

Yes, the white balance does look a little strange for some of the pictures, but I’m too lazy to re-export everything in Lightroom.

Everything was shot on the Canon EOS Rebel T5 (1200D/Kiss X70) with the EF85mm f/1.8 USM lens.

@Kevin not helping.

Check your internet speed, those pictures are bigger than most attachments you might come across on the IFC. Or you might have imgur blocked on your network.

Nice shots! Just a question, why didn’t you go up to the skydeck?

9

Maybe price? Because to go up its 15 HKD for an adult, it’s not too much but maybe?

10

Unfortunately, the skydeck was closed on the day I set aside for spotting. I was gutted, but I found a better spot. It was excessively hot outside that day.

Considering that it cost me HK$32 to get to the airport and $60 for lunch, the entrance fee was the least of my concerns. XD

I love to see some of my home town’s spotting pictures! beautiful images!

12

Aww yes! I’m from Hong Kong so yeah. But I live in England. It’s a shame my family didn’t stay in Hong Kong although I probably wouldn’t be playing IF if I was still in Hong Kong because my family hard poor there. Anyway nice photos really like the 747 and the 78s

13

Nice, you’re lucky to have some blue sky, quite rare in HK. Btw that Singapore A350 is awesome.

14

That’s unlucky. When I went they were using 7L/R, so I couldn’t get any decent landing shots. I’m heading over to Hong Kong for a day trip later in the month, hopefully I can convince my mom to bring me planespotting 😏

Ah, the magic of Lightroom and the dehaze tool will forever mystify my dear readers. XD
