A Brief Look At My Flickr Photos – May 2016

Welcome to another edition of  ‘A Brief Look At My Flickr Photos’.  I will review some of the photos I uploaded to Flickr during the past month. For each photo I will share the folllowing information:

  • Subject
  • Location
  • Date & Time
  • Equipment
  • Camera Settings
  • Comments

In a nutshell, I hope these posts will not only help you to appreciate some of my Flickr photos, but will hopefully also assist you in becoming a better photographer yourself.

Now, let’s get started by reviewing some of my Flickr photos I uploaded in May 2016, shall we?

  • Subject: Air Transat Airbus A310-304 C-GTSF

  • Date & Time: May 6th 2016 – 13:57 LT

  • Camera Settings: 390mm | 1/640s | f/9.0 | ISO100
  • Comments: Even though Air Transat has a seasonal service to Brussels Airport since quite a few years now, this is one of the first times I managed to get some photos of one of their aircraft at Brussels Airport. Here we see an Airbus A310 few moments after takeoff from RWY 07R, on its way to Montreal as flight TS155 BRU-YUL.

  • Comments: It’s very hard, if not impossible to get bored by the Brussels Airlines special liveries, promoting Belgian icons on its short and medium-haul network. Here we see Airbus A320-214 OO-SNB ‘Rackham’ taking off at Brussels Airport, bound for Barcelona as flight SN3703 BRU-BCN.
