Maybe not everyone has experienced or is used to plane photography... But it's certainly no less interesting, KEE friends! Imagine it as a combination of wild photography and landscape, the plane as the wildlife, and the landscape as the background. It's fun!
1. Hold the camera
First you need to learn how to hold the camera correctly, because of fast movement, time and safety, you need to master this.
Start by bending your left hand with your palm facing up, placing the lens in your left palm. Meanwhile, the right hand holds the camera body and the index finger is on the shutter release. Keep practicing until you feel comfortable. You can try photographing a stationary object at 1/30 speed until you get a sharp image.

2. Panning
Panning is a trick for photographing moving objects with the main subject clearly visible. You can use a shutter speed of 1/20 while moving along with the speed of the subject, remember that it is our body that is moving, not the camera. With lots of practice you can definitely get good results. You can try by taking photos of cars on the road or people cycling.

3. Light
Light is one of the most important elements in photography. Usually in the world of plane photography there are 3 types of light used, front, side and back. You can use light to tell the story, for example by using backlights on the wings of the plane so it looks more dramatic.

4. Provide movement
You can create variations in your photos by giving movement to the photos, not everything has to look still/frozen. You can try taking it from a low angle by squatting for example so that you get a larger proportion of the sky. You can give movement to parts of the sky, for example there are birds flying. Use a shutter speed of less than 1/125 to get blur results that give a sensation of movement.

5. Clouds
An empty sky without clouds definitely looks like something is missing. Look for an angle that has clouds in it so your photo looks more interesting. If there are lots of clouds, you can take a wider angle even though the plane looks smaller. But if there are only a few clouds, you can take more zoom. With a plane in flight, it's important to plan your photo shoot because without props, you need the help of clouds to provide movement.
