Totally agree with you!

I think there are enough photos already from this location. No point in posting more and more photos from here.

If we want BOM to be at the forefront of aviation photography in India without any bans or restrictions by the authorities, please start looking for alternate spotting locations instead of doing an overkill on the dargah location.

I don thtink the Jari Mari view is over abused! There are hardly any pics from there on airliners.net! On JP its a different story, i dont go there hence i cant comment.

Anyways i think between all of us yes we have really raped that spotting location, nothing wrong with that, i guess that happens all over the world with spotting locations! I guess we are just lucky to have it before it goes!

Its nice to be Friendly with the Locals out there.Every time I drive by the Airport perimeter road near the area,A few kids by the Airport road on the city side,always wave out.Most times We return the favour.

Im glad you did not give undue publicity to the area via the media,as if done would def get some spoilsport interested in reasons for shutting it down.

However personally I feel you folks have got the Skill & cameras to try different angles & views.

Was speaking to a couple of Foreigners last week & many mentioned about the huge addition of Indian Operators pics in Anet & JPnet.Which is thanks to you guys.Keep up the good work.

At the outset, I am sorry for hijacking this thread, but I feel it is necessary to reply to this post by Vishal.

Vishal, I am sure you would do the same if you find a person instead of an aircraft in your viewfinder Wink

As far as being rude or not is concerned, I leave it to your own good judgment!!

As I had mentioned earlier, I am not against spotting and photography, but please strike a balance between multiple locations instead of multiple pics from the same location.

And one more thing, I had spoken to you about this when I met you (during the A380 visit) as well. We click photos because of our passion, not to flood the gallery with multiple shots of the same aircraft. You dont have to click photos with the aim of getting them on Anet or JP.net. The focus should be on quality and not quantity. And you aint gonna get nothing by shouting out to all that you are the "no. 1 Indian aviation photographer". Yeah you may be, if you are just counting the number of photos that you flood the gallery with!! Laughing

Please don't misunderstand me, but I am not against the enthusiasm of the newer members on the forum. However, people like Karan and I have taken utmost care to preserve each of our spotting locations and to avoid unnecesary publicity.

Lets all strike a balance, and look for other spotting locations as well is all I am saying. This will not only ensure that we have alternate locations, but give us different views of the aircraft as well.

Having said all of this, I rest my case. I will not comment any further on this topic. We are all responsible people here, and are fully aware of the consequences of our own actions.

Happy spotting!

- Vivek

NIce to see a mudslinging fest here LOL! I know who stirred the pot here Wink

As far as the issue is concerned no photographer has any business telling the other photographer as where or how he should shoot.

I could see the infight that would occur before you guys even started an Airport watch group, that's why I said that it won't work in India, because we have the tendency to put limits and constraints on others actions which is not required in a hobby.

Now about Vishal's quantity and quality, he has an amazing style, commenting etc. and draws a lot of hits even more than A.net just for a normal aircraft.

As you guys know to be listed as a photographer you need atleast 50 on A.net and 100 on JP.net respectively.

Ok guys lets chuck it! And yeah we will try to find alternate spotting locations.....Now lets get back to the topic "My latest V3" Very Happy

Hi Sean,

Of course I remember you very well!

By saying we preserve each of our spotting locations, I mean we try not making a hype about our spotting locations. There is no secrecy or exclusivity to such locations and believe me, we do not have access to any spot which is out of bounds for others.

I would love to join the hunt for new locations, however my current work schedule does not permit me to do so Sad

Since many members of the group regularly spot, I think they have the best opportunity to find out new locations. Of course, the Mumbai rains hardly allow an opportunity to go spotting these days.

I have used Google Earth in the past to check out the areas surrounding the airport. However, I havent got the time to explore these locations.

You guys can use the same technique and try spotting from different areas near the airport. Would love to join you guys - schedule and weather permitting Smile

Take care and happy spotting!

- Vivek

Ok guys, come on enough is enough! This is the onyl thing what bugs me about us Indians, when we dont have anythign else to do and things are moving smoothly we just turn on ourselves and and start pulling each other down. Why? Whether its Vishal or Vivek or for that reason anyone else in the forum, why must these unnecessary words be said in public? If you have to say anythign to anyone please do it in private, atleast for the sake of the sanctity of this site!

As for Viveks comments, i dont disagree with them at all, i think he has some valid points which he actually means some good with and doesnt meant o shoot other spotter down with. From personal experience i also felt that i would prefer keeping a toned down presence at Jari Mari, i would constantly we trying to hide my camera and other stuff i had with me. Because i know how the police thinks and feels about our passion, for us its a passion, for them its the perfect mix of a terrorism plot in the making.

Vivek may have made it sound different but i instantly got what he meant. I felt a tad bit conscious when all of us were together, because then we were literally a group of 20 ppl standing standing around with alot of attention being on us! Dont get me wrong, its fun that ways but i have to admit i was a bit nervous.

You have to understand, a passion like ours can so very easliy be seen as something as a threat against out national security, which as you guys may or may not know basically gives them a clean chit to do anythign they feel like to get info out of us. Lets avaiod such a situation where one of us gets arrested and they close that site forever. Lets keep a low profile!

There is nothing wrong with getting chairs, chai, or anythign else over there, just try to keep low when the cops stare up at you, try to avoid pointing a camera in their face. We (read security) still have to mature to accept such hobbies and realise that people do "stupid stuff" like this even for fun Wink

!

Thats just my perspective and please lets stop this stupid mug flinging fest.

C-GHK, can u elaborate on this 50 and 100 picture acceptance thingie which u mentioned for being an AV photographeron a.net and JP?

regards
nitin

PS:Talking about being a cohesive unit on this website, im sure i will get a reply saying i need to provide a "link" to the above opinion of mine ! Smile

What to do?

Nitin,

http://www.airliners.net/about/photographers.main

In JP there is a dropdown menu for photographers listed. The help would show the requirements to list a name.
