Articles on Brussels spotters on the web

Post by **sn26567** » 24 Aug 2007, 09:35

Just published on the web this article (in Dutch) on a Brussels spotter, Guy Daems:

http://www.brusselnieuws.be/site/rubrie ... 1187854847

Is he one of our members?

Also an article on Dutch spotter in Brussels Jules van Herten: http://www.brusselnieuws.be/site/rubrie ... 1187855219

Same question: Is he one of our members?

And a last one on our well-known member Robin Bamps: http://www.brusselnieuws.be/site/rubrie ... 1187855648

quote from the article about Guy Daems (my adaptation), and in Dutch :

"In Zaventem zie je weinig grote witte vliegtuigen, de cargo’s even niet meegerekend. Amsterdam daarentegen is fantastisch. Daar zijn heel wat white bodies."

The journalist definitely doesn't know much about aviation!!!

In Zaventem zie je weinig grote witte vliegtuigen, de cargo’s even niet meegerekend. Amsterdam daarentegen is fantastisch. Daar zijn heel wat white bodies. Bovendien is er meer luchtverkeer.”

Seems like a faulty translation from the reporter. Guy was talking about widebodies, and it was translated as 'witte vliegtuigen'

Robin Bamps is on our forum, as robin_bamps (difficult

). The others I don't know.

PS: seems the error was partially correct on their website

I did send them an email just after i read the text, and now it seems they changed it partially, still witte vliegtuigen in Amsterdam but I resend a message and hopefully they change that as well.

It was rather funny to read

Nice to see some good articles and positive news again about spotting in Belgium... but (sorry Guy

) I don't agree with this:

"De ‘ideale’ spottersfoto is in puur zijaanzicht"

So much more fun if you dare taking some other action shots, but that's my opinion of course.

Maybe for him it is

Hello

Indeed rut-her

No offence on side-shots, for sure... they are always good...but some variation is always nice. To be honest, my favourite view on a plane is side/front-view and even a bit from downunder

.

Nice articles indeed.

Best regards: Yannick

Yes Bruspotter, we would all like to go to Australia!

... All in all 3 interesting articles ...

Don't agree too about "sideshots" but be aware that Guy was talking about the "perfect" spotters photo, which I can understand however!
Photography is all about variation imho

Nice article with Guy Daems but you can take nice pictures too without the sun...imho.

Have a nice weekend.
