Gear and association info
liviu.dnistran:
I should tell you from the start that our association has only 5 members that are also the board members.
We are aware of the issue with the people and we are trying to handle that based on the previous experience. We had other attempts of creating the association and that's when we learned alot about people :).
We would like to start formal relations with the airports, the military and other organisations that are interested in this type of activity.
Do you have some partnerships with Nikon or Canon? Maybe they are letting you use some of their more expensive gear in exchange for exposure for their products?
How have you managed to estabilish such a good relationship with the military? I've seen that you've done photo shoots with the Iskras from quite some special angles :D.
Do you still have issues around airpots/military bases when it comes to photography?
I think this is where we would like to start. Maybe in time we'll get to the money part, or any other issue.
Thanks again.
P.S. We've got a website started which is quite the work in progress (transilvania-spotters.ro).
I don't know if you were aware of the Photoavia.net website, but we are now working on getting that back online.

5 people is a very good amount. Create a brand and do not go on a number of people.
Our relationship with the military and airports have only one foundation. It's a very good photography! The main thing is to do your job as well as you can. Making the best pictures! Sooner or later someone will see you and will want to have that pictures taken at his home. He will invite you. You will make him photographic material. If he will be pleased, he will recommend you to others. That's how it works with us.
We cooperate with the NPS. They sometimes lend us equipment but very rarely.

Thanks for the reply.
We are trying to take more interesting picures, learning from you :D, and prooving that we are better that the rest. We don't have expensive gear so this makes it even more challenging.
I am aware that lots of people try to gain advantages through an association like this, but my main goal is to go in there and take the best pictures I can take. Even though this is just a hobby for me, when I go to air-bases I am focused on taking pictures.
I believe this is the best way to get yourself noticed, in a good way :).
P.S. I might ask some photo technique questions or editing questions that may have been already answered somewhere in the forum. I don't speak polish so I would like to ask you to bear with me :).
