I’m a fairly new member, and am just getting used to my first “non point & shoot” camera, a D5600. I’m finally taking the time to learn about real photography, but I have a long way to go, and have little to no experience with post production at this point. I live near lots of airports, and have always enjoyed aviation related photography.
I do have some questions to post a little later regarding aircraft, or any fast moving subjects, but I was wondering what the general position is here on the forum regarding air enthusiasts who snap photos of commercial jetliners taking off or approaching airports. I’m talking about legally and casually, from nearby public areas, parking lots, private property, etc. which happen to have good vantage points.
Some municipalities frown upon it more than others, and I wouldn’t encourage it in general in most cases, but having said that, I’ve seen some great shots. I’ve seen a few online discussions where some folks think it is ok to photograph a jet, and others who think it is inappropriate. (I’m not talking about inside, in flight, or anything military related – that’s all off limits).
So, before I discuss it further, I wanted to know what the consensus is around here. If you all share any jet photos, I wouldn’t mind seeing some.
Thx, Zen
