YES ALVIN!! I was grinning and clapping all the way through. Beautifully produced video as always, and I can't wait for the future videos on your planespotting passion. So happy I could play a small part in inspiring you to make these epic videos and share your passion on UA-cam. Big things ahead my friend!
Can't thank you enough Ricky - for giving me that push to share this side of me on UA-cam! I'm super excited for what's to come! Let's meet up again soon!
This is not just a youtube video; it's a whole produced film! Your shooting, editing, and story are all amazing and you deserve so much more attention.
Because of you... I got motivated to pick up my camera again and take on aviation photography as a more constant hobby. And yes, waking up at 5am to catch that one morning flight became easier the more I did it. Thanks, Alvin! 🙏🏼
Great video! Started planespotting in 1998 and planning my restart right now. Aviation & planespotting was my passion for a very long time. Then stopped taking pictures when I started flying but coming back right now with the focus on aviation & travel videography 😊 Thanks for the share & best regards from FRA 🤗
It was really cool of you to make this video since i felt like i related to most of your points and since nobody really knew what planespotting was. Ive always had a passion for aviation but only recently delved into planespotting and the aviation enthusiast community in my local area. It’s now my main and probably my only hobby so I’m able to put a lot of time into it which is what it takes depending on what type of spotter you are. To your other point, it’s definitely a nerdy/geeky aspect of me so not really the best talking point in a conversation with a non-avgeek lol. I really admire the quality of your content and it in part has inspired me to share my own aviation/planespotting content on my own channel. Also, it’s nice to see a fellow Asian in the aviation community. Hope to cross paths with you some day in the aviation world. Cheers.
Glad you were able to connect with many of the points I made! Hopefully you won't be shy about sharing your passion - a lot of people actually find it very cool! I'm sure we'll bump into each other one day! Cheers man!
This was so epic! I wasn't even that interested in aviation photography but you've left me itching to learn more and try for myself! Great work man. Subbed :)
I have to say Alvin, I've been watching your videos for a while now and you're still bloody underrated. Keep doing what you're doing and success will come your way!
Found my new favourite UA-camr. You've really helped me start off with planespotting, always loved it and dipped in and out of it, but now I'm able to do it properly thanks to you :)
Really well done Alvin, enjoyed watching this. The aviation passion for me has been a great source of enterntainment, and I have met so many new friends over the years, inclunding my best friend :D nice video
This is a Fantastic Video Alvin, I totally agree with the points in the video! And waking up at 4am for me at one point to catch a plane is so relatable.
I took my first plane spotting trip to RSW today and couldn't be happier to have found this video as I learned very quickly that this takes practice! I'm shooting with a Nikon D40 and have a new lens shipping this week and was so relieved that ranging up to 200mm from the standard 18-55mm was a good beginners choice.. I've subscribed to your page and am really looking forward to learning more through your videos as well as practice!
Oh my 100th like and 666th view LOL dude this video is so cool :) So good to see this fresh content and the tips to explain to new plane spotters! Im gna link this to people when they ask about it!
Ayyy look at you being the 100th like and 666th view hahaha, thanks Rohan! Trying something new and hopefully inspiring one or two to get into aviation photography. It's also refreshing to make something other than trip reports!
As a aviation spotter in China just like you,i have to say there's no reason why i always go to the airport,we just enjoy the roar of engines,we love watching the landing and take off.Wish you can do well
I'm very happy for your success in this amazing hobby! I'm passionate about aviation and photography so am keen to start getting into this, what a great encouraging video you've made. You are so right air travel has become so under appreciated these days but still its fantastic to hear from fellow enthusiasts from all around the world unite online
5th time watching this, and it always inspires me just when I'm losing motivation! to be honest, you should be a videographer too! The colour grading and the closeups where just the real "WOW" factor! Great work Alvin! Can't wait for more!
airplanes are so underrated. I have been watching a few of your very helpful vids for planespotting! Thanks for your tips! I will be sure to use your techniques to use on my own. channel.
Great video. I've always been thinking of becoming a plane spotter for a very long time as an avgeek. I'm starting to think about making it my hobby from now, and there are 2 questions I would like to have an answer on. 1. What camera do you recommend me? I'm not an expert when it comes to cameras yet... Because I'm very young. I'm thinking of getting a Nikon p1000. What are your thoughts on it? 2. Is there a way I can make money out of plane spotting? If not, where and how can I get myself popular within the plane spotting community, and where can I get my photos displayed to public? Those were the 2 questions I had. I'm here at 2024, pretty late to this video. So chances that you will read my comment is low, but if you do read this, I would appreciate a response. It would mean a lot to me.
Hey! Let me try to answer your questions: 1. The Nikon P1000 is a great planespotting camera to start out with, for a few reasons. It is budget friendly, and it has built in optical zoom up to 3000mm which means you don't worry have to worry about getting different lenses. You can shoot any distance with it. I recommend it! 2. It is possible to make money out of planespotting once you have developed the skillset and built up your portfolio, but it shouldn't be your first goal while getting into this hobby. You should aim to enjoy it and develop your photography and planespotting skills - making money out of it should be a nice bonus on the side. Once you get the camera, I would recommend going out to planespot and learn your camera, learn photography basics, learn editing in lightroom or photoshop. Create a profile on something like Instagram to share your photos. Engage with other avgeeks in the community. Over time you will build relationships and friendships in the community who will help you grow as a photographer and planespotter. Don't worry too much about the follower count or likes, just focus on sharing your best work and improving. Eventually as you get better and better, you can start uploading your photos to professional aviation photographer websites like AirTeamImages, or reach out directly to magazines or publications that may be willing to feature your photos in print or online. Hope that helps. Best of luck, and welcome to the planespotting community!
@@onemoreweektogo wow, a reply in less than 24 hours! First of all, thank you for replying as well as the heartwarming welcoming into this community. I can't agree with you more on your response to my second question. And certainly, your response to my first question as well. Nikon p1000 sure does have a legendary zoom range, making plane spotting possible in almost any location in the world. And for the money making part... It is true that making money from this shouldn't be my main goal. The main goal for this and any other hobbies is to have fun. I intent to start my Instagram after I get my camera for my birthday. Looking forward to making some relationships... And some memories that I always wanted to make when I was even younger. Your advice surely was helpful. Thank you for your time!
@@onemoreweektogo will do... If I ever come up with a name for my insta/yt channel haha. Well that wraps this conversation up then. I'll see you in March! 🤝
Hello Alvin, glad to know that there are several more aviation enthusiast photographers in the Lower Mainland. I’m sure you must have been there at the Boundary Bay airport air show on 16th July.
It's my first time on your channel and I really enjoyed this video. I'm following you on IG and your work is very inspiring! I am still a beginner in plane spotting but I love spending time around BRU airport (Brussels) with my camera. I'm waiting for the editing tutorial \o/ and in the meantime I can discover your previous videos. Thanks for your work!
My mom and I always go to flight path park to watch airplanes. I get so excited when I see a heavy. I do portrait photography, and I've tried aviation photography before but I don't have a good lens.
@@onemoreweektogo Thank you! I love driving over the bridges and having a heavy fly over me, or shopping at the outlets. I was practicing driving a few weeks ago in the outlet parking lot and I had to put the car in park to admire an air India (I forget what plane it was) flying above me.
Amazing video!!!! Thanks for sharing, I think that you can represent all of us about our passion. We would like also a planespotting vlog series, please.
I live in Estonia, it's a pretty wealthy country in the Baltics but it's not very populated. I like trains more than planes but there are only 1 type of trains here so what I do to have fun is go planespotting. It's really nice because if a plane comes I'm always happy and excited because there aren't many planes that come here.
@@onemoreweektogo :D Great stuff! Just wanted to let you know that I love the high level of quality that you create! One of the absolute best channels on YT on our favorite subject!
@@Bighc thanks Hans! Really appreciate that! As with aviation photography, I have a very high quality bar for myself, so you can expect that same quality with my videos!
Totally agree with you. Keep doing such cool vlogs. There are tons of vloggers doing business class reviews and not so many - plane photography. Speaking about gear: is it a DJI or Nomatic backpack that fits 200-600? I might need to change PeakDesign to another one (I had Nomatic, Wandrd, etc). P.S. You inspired me to reborn this one of my small hobbies :) Thanks!
@@onemoreweektogo will check some reviews. Time to upgrade my backpack :) Thank you! Just need something universal. But the 35L one looks incredible for traveling.
@@onemoreweektogo I got my Peter McKinnon backpack today. Oh boy, it's huge. So much space. Yesterday I tried to fit 200-600 in PD Everyday Backpack, it's tough. With the new on I have a space for more than I need :) Thanks again. You sold it to me, really!
Thank you for speaking about our hobby What is it and why we do it I like your video and I will share it with my avgeek friends too Thanks for your video! Regards Joshua Cruz -Philippine Aviators
Nice video. In lieu of post 911, how do you go about finding places around the airports to shoot from? How do you deal with security when they do show up?
Loved the story! I am 100% gonna start plane spotting (like real life not online) when I get my car. From now I just do online plane spottings, are those good?
@@onemoreweektogo Oh! Online plane spotting is where you take a flight simulator, (lets say Microsoft Flight Simulator or Project Flight Roblox) and you go to an airport in the game then start screen recording peoples landings or takeoffs. then the editing process is probably the same
It will be fantastic if you could elaborate how the plane spotters getting rewarded for their daily living expenses.. I will obviously watch the video.. Cheers
Hi, I'm a Highschool Aviations Lover from Hong Kong, thank you for introducing a great Hobbie for all the Aviation Lovers, well, I want to be a Aviation Spotter and also my dream job also want to join Aviation jobs, my most favorite Aviation job is pilot
Hi Alvin, I like your channel and I just got my new Sony a7rv . Also I got the Lens 200-600 but is huge to carry every time. Can you give me an advise between the 100-400 or the 70-200.. I like the aviation photography but also when they are approaching to the airport. So, sometimes I just need to take the lens faster from my bag.. thank you!
Hey Harold, it depends on the locations you'll be spotting in mostly. Do you have any spots that are very close to the airplane? If so, I would say the 70-200 makes more sense, since you'll be covering a focal range you currently don't have with the 200-600. But if you want to have a very versatile lens you can use on your travels, maybe the 100-400 might be better.
@@onemoreweektogo Well, more or less I’m around about 3-4 miles from the target. That should be enough or maybe is necessary the teleconverter? Thank you!
I probably did too much spotting cuz I’m getting bored going up there now lol Probably my next spotting is from the gate n inside the flight. My a geek started right after I was born lol Took my first flight on the JAL 747 when I was 2 months old lolol
YES ALVIN!! I was grinning and clapping all the way through. Beautifully produced video as always, and I can't wait for the future videos on your planespotting passion. So happy I could play a small part in inspiring you to make these epic videos and share your passion on UA-cam. Big things ahead my friend!
Can't thank you enough Ricky - for giving me that push to share this side of me on UA-cam! I'm super excited for what's to come! Let's meet up again soon!

Hahahahah facts!
Yes Alvin! You legend! I am so hyped for this now that I have the time to watch this! 🤩
Thanks Dan! Hope you enjoyed it!
Because of you... I got motivated to pick up my camera again and take on aviation photography as a more constant hobby. And yes, waking up at 5am to catch that one morning flight became easier the more I did it. Thanks, Alvin! 🙏🏼

Can you activate the vivid mode with planespotting set Picture Control because the colors are pushed out better
Become a pilot is my dream but it didn't happen because i have some financial problem, but right now i decided to become an plane spotter
Dang i just went there not that long ago, it was awesome.
Any other locations that are nice at YVR?
Hello, I am trying to get into plane spotting. I was wondering was DSLR camera I should get under 1000$
So amazing Alvin!
Thanks so much Ryan!
Hey mate what is the song playing at the start?
Thanks!
Loved the story! I am 100% gonna start plane spotting (like real life not online) when I get my car. From now I just do online plane spottings, are those good?
Thank you! Hope you get your car soon then! How does online plane spotting work? I’ve never done that!
@@onemoreweektogo Oh! Online plane spotting is where you take a flight simulator, (lets say Microsoft Flight Simulator or Project Flight Roblox) and you go to an airport in the game then start screen recording peoples landings or takeoffs. then the editing process is probably the same
Loved the video…. Hoping to grow my channel. Currently looking to update to a mirrorless ….. Boy that’s confusing…..
It will be fantastic if you could elaborate how the plane spotters getting rewarded for their daily living expenses.. I will obviously watch the video.. Cheers
Very good video sold!
Hope you will come back to Zurich soon
Definitely want to as soon as I can!
Hi, I'm a Highschool Aviations Lover from Hong Kong, thank you for introducing a great Hobbie for all the Aviation Lovers, well, I want to be a Aviation Spotter and also my dream job also want to join Aviation jobs, my most favorite Aviation job is pilot
well filmed nice text and a good spotter what more? Very nice!
Thanks a lot!!
Hi, Do you approach aviation companies/Air Force for taking any kind of permission for photos? If yes, How?
what kind of microphone that you use to enhance the plane engine sound and get rid of the wind sound disturbance?
You can use any directional microphone that mounts onto the hotshoe of your camera. Make sure it includes a deadcat to eliminate any wind noise.
Hi Alvin, I like your channel and I just got my new Sony a7rv . Also I got the Lens 200-600 but is huge to carry every time. Can you give me an advise between the 100-400 or the 70-200.. I like the aviation photography but also when they are approaching to the airport. So, sometimes I just need to take the lens faster from my bag.. thank you!
Hey Harold, it depends on the locations you'll be spotting in mostly. Do you have any spots that are very close to the airplane? If so, I would say the 70-200 makes more sense, since you'll be covering a focal range you currently don't have with the 200-600. But if you want to have a very versatile lens you can use on your travels, maybe the 100-400 might be better.
@@onemoreweektogo Well, more or less I’m around about 3-4 miles from the target. That should be enough or maybe is necessary the teleconverter?
Thank you!
This is amazing
I probably did too much spotting cuz I’m getting bored going up there now lol
Probably my next spotting is from the gate n inside the flight.
My a geek started right after I was born lol Took my first flight on the JAL 747 when I was 2 months old lolol
Haha there are plenty of other spots around YVR. Gate spotting is great too!
Nice Video!
Cheers Brodie!
