Yesterday I was at Changi Boardwalk Park in the afternoon with NK. It was very hot as usual. There, I managed to capture the landing and taking off of planes as the Changi International Airport is just nearby. Later in the evening at around 7pm, I was at Changi Beach again which is rather nearby to where I went earlier in the day. But the second time round, I was with my relatives having picnic. So I took the advantage to shoot airplanes which was flying above us preparing for landing.

Thanks for deleting my comment from your fp too huh.. I mean if you can't take constructive criticism, I wonder how you would react if one day your clients say the same thing as what I did.. Nice things are good to hear and show but the not so nice words are actually meant to be something that you can look into and improve on. I'm no pro in photography but I strongly feel that I have the basics..
my jaw dropped when i read you could get a shutter speed of 1/1250 at ISO 100! must have been a very bright day.
if i were to take pictures in heathrow airport - what more of the planes, I probably would get arrested (seriously) - i've been warned several times before not to take pictures of my brother leaving for malaysia from heathrow. they don't allow even holiday pictures!
as for the answer to your question, i took that picture at 18mm using the kit lens - as far as that lens would allow. I've been meeting up with arep many times and i have tried his sigma 10-20mm and I tell you that's the next lens i'm going for - it's excellent.
Hanis, tryla...lobster dap.. kalau nak beli LV leh pesan kat akak, here is cheaper than kat other places sebab here tax-free...satu lagi, action ke? takdelaaa itu barang aje babe..samala kalau beli kasut ke, kereta ke, handphone ke, DSLR ke, jewellery ke...dan sebagainya... Wow, light trail itu ganas!
Hey HR, thanks for the constructive comment yah. Really need comments like dat so i can slowly improve my photographic ability. Btw juz one question, wen do we usually need to desaturate our photos? Bcoz sometimes i dunno if to leave the photo as it is or to make it b&w. Thank you in advance.

HR, i forgot to add that there will be full-moon after the next 6-7 days corresponding to the half month of the lunar calendar i.e 14-15 Rabiulawal, 1-2 April. Happy moon-sighting!
Wah! Excited nampak. My shutter speed was 1/125 sec. Aperture F/3.5. Btw this shot was hand-held but if i'm not wrong it's better to use a tripod. I also used spot-metering. I suggest its best for you to trial and error yah. All the best and get ready to hear the werewolves howl.
Airforce punya heli & planes kekadang terbang di ruang udara atas rumah..sebab dekat dgn airforce airport...tapi tak mudah kalau nak shoot gambar..tak de skill pun !!!
