Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Amazing Amsterdam

Post by SilverWingPix »

Not sure I should´ve located the right date and posted there, but here goes:

Visited AMS last week while driving from Copenhagen to London. AMS was the perfect stop for a day break from driving.
Gotta love Amsterdam. Spent just the one day there and its Amazing how many angles and views you can get over course of just a day. The variety offered would be impossible to get at Copenhagen, my home airport.

In no particular order:

Love that row of trees in the background - makes even a KLM Fokker look good:
Image

Two highlights in one - Martin Retro and shooting at the canal-bridge crossing towards Polderbaan:
Image

Almost looks better the old 747 did - cleaner anyway:
Image

Just an Aeroflot but great spot:
Image

Short finals for 06 just after sunrise - love the shadow thrown on the flaps next to the right (left seen from here) engine:
Image

Three-triples from the terrace:
Image

A week later (that would be one of these days) and the sun would have risen between the buildings - Its all about timing isn´t it?
Image

Got the timing just right here - Strobe - Click!
Image

New kid on the block - Corendon Dutch Airlines:
Image

Lumps are just so photogenic:
Image

Gleaming in the rising sun:
Image

Another strobe - this one on the wing:
Image

I wonder how long to go for these blue beauties!?
Image

Colin caught it too - while balancing on a railing dangerously close to the cold canal water:
Image

My last shot that day:
Image

China Southern was quite exotic and arrived in gorgeous light:
Image

Delta A330´s can become quite boring at AMS, but then you can go for an arty angle:
Image

Even Vueling was snapped. Gotta love them canals:
Image

Amazing - my first CRJ1000:
Image

Korean had a treat for us - Special colors:
Image

We were not the only ones enjoying the canal-bridge and Korean:
Image

Not long to go this - Soooo glad I caught it:
Image

Nothing like close ups - Emergency exit:
Image

The end - with a KLM 747 landing about 5 minutes before sunrise - had to get up early for this:

Amazing shots from Schipol and taken at places we usually don't see everyday. I JUST have to go to Amsterdam this summer, and the channel crossings will be on the top 3 places to spot from.

As a matter of fact, Erik, KLM has the intention to get rid of its oldest MD11 before a next D-check is neccessary, which is in the beginning of 2014.
The oldest MD11s will probably soldier on for another year of 2 after that.....

Very nice pictures! Could you tell me where you took picture 1? Is that on the north side of TWY Victor, in the morning?
