Planes Sighted Over Tiong Bahru
July 26th, 2008 by INK
With National Day just 2 weeks away, there is a constant rumble of jets flying over our HDB estate every Saturday around 7pm. I was very lucky to have captured this shot outside my study room window considering that I was totally unprepared. When they say to always keep your camera nearby, it’s really for moments like this!

Merv said its very hard to take such shots and you got it!
It was in clear view also at the National Museum area. But I only took very blurred pic hee.

Yeah, it IS very difficult to shoot moving things that’s why I’m quite happy I got it!
Some tips on how to get the shot:
- Set focus mode to “C” instead of “S”. This stands for continuous focusing.
- Set focus points to “Dynamic” instead of “Single” if your camera has it. This allows you to not always have to position the focus box on top of the moving object especially if the subject is moving erratically.
- Use a smaller aperture like F/5.6 and below if possible so that even if the subject moves in front or behind a little after focusing, it’ll still be sharp.
Don’t mind having a look at your pic too! I remember the first flying bird pics I shot were also really blur…
