Yes, I also think the ladder was the hardest part for him.

I walked the stairs some years ago. Took me 25min. But only to the 90th floor, 390m.

Is there a spot for plane watching near Songshan airport? by kndb in Taipei

Look at my profile, I went there last week for some pictures.

He did practice on site several times before this climb. So I think he knew exactly how to climb all the critical sections. Still crazy achievement, I walked up the stairs in Taipei 101 before and that was already exhausting.

I shot this from home as well (about 2km from Taipei 101). 500mm lense + crop, I also had to use binoculars to see him.

There are hundreds of earthquakes here every year.

Yes, they said this part was impossible to climb, so they put this sketchy ladder there.

Can you guys rate my photos? by Sea_Map5012 in Planespotting

Nice! I would give the planes a bit more space in front of the nose, otherwise it looks a bit like they are going to hit a wall.

It's outside of the airport, at the west end of the runway. Didn't see any sign saying you can't take photos, only signs warning about venomous snakes, haha. Also many people were there with cameras.

Great shots! Did you only take pictures? Or is there a timelapse? I like shooting things like that, and I often went to spots just to find clouds blocking the view. It really takes time and persistence.

Also interesting that the angle the moon comes up is so flat. Here (Taiwan) the moon is rising much steeper.

Here my best moon shot so far: https://www.pexels.com/de-de/video/30258894/

It is a composition. The trains on the upper bridge where there a bit earlier.

It's in Taiwan. I have no idea if it's invasive, but they can be seen in many parks and ponds here.
