Hi ya’all,
I was just cleaning my hard drive, when I found a couple shots that reminded me how I got started in Aviation Photography. Back in Sept 2002, I was on a flight from Las Palmas to Tenerife on Binter Canarias. But to my surprise, it was not a Binter Aircraft, it was a DAT ATR-72. I was carrying my company’s Sony PSC-7 camera and took a picture when we got out of the aircraft(pic).
Since I didn’t have time to take a full view, I ran to my car and drove to a gate where you could see the whole aircraft and took another shot (pic). I was intrigued why was a Binter flight on a DAT aircraft, so I dug around in Internet and found out what a “Wet Leased” was all about. I enjoyed so much taking a picture of the airplane and finding more info about it, that I started to look for my own digital camera and in Dec 2002 bought a D100 (with crappy old lens, no more budget). Took my first “real” spotting pictures (first "real" pic), and the rest is “beginning history”.
I was wondering how you all got started in Aviation Photography.
Thanks for listening,
Gbasco.
