Hey everyone! I recently spent a day spotting at Tokyo Narita (NRT) and figured I'd share some tips for capturing departures. If you're heading there, you'll want to check out the spots near Terminal 1. I found a great location at the Sakura No Yama park, which gives a pretty clear view of aircraft taking off.
For settings, I used a Canon EOS R6 with a 100-400mm lens. The light can be tricky, especially in the afternoon with the sun overhead, so a polarizer really helps cut through some of that glare. I kept my shutter speed around 1/1000s to freeze the motion, especially with the larger jets.
Anyone else have tips for shooting at Narita? Would love to hear about other spots or settings you guys use. Also, let me know if you have experience shooting in different seasons there - I've only been in the summer. Looking forward to the tips!
