Just a few more from a very grey and cold Sunday at Schiphol.

Nanou, nr.2 (and 1 & 3) were taken from the parking lot just north of runway 06/24 (spot nr.2 in the Airfield guide on this website). If you use a car you have to be lucky though because there are only about 12 spaces where you can legally park for one and a half hour max, so be sure to have your bl...

Someone told me that today the morning would still be very good and only in the afternoon there were to be clouds and rain. Unfortunately he was wrong. It turned out to be a grey day from the start. After a very early start however I wasn't going to return after an hour or so and decided to stay aro...

Menno, your MAS Cargo A330 is absolutely beautiful! Its was the first time I tried evening shots at Schiphol and obviously I was at the wrong spot between the approachlights of 06. Rene already informed me (thanks) about the right place to be so I'll try that next time, certainly after seeing your s...

Very nice shot indeed Wild Weasel! Where did you take it?
Joost: a few more from the location you asked for:

Joost, if you look at my second picture, the one with the Air Bridge Cargo 747, you see the wooden red and white safetyboarding in the corner. The picture of the Korean Skyteam 777 was taken there after it had just crossed the runway. The light is acceptable from around half past one, two o'clock in...

The Turkish Cargo A300 looks very nice! Unfortunately (for me and a few other guys) I was at the wrong runway. Some of my pictures from a very cold Schiphol:

Very nice pictures and a good photoreport Faller. Keep the Budapest pictures coming please, it's a welcome change from the Amsterdam scene

Arnoud, fantastic picture of the Qatar Cargo 777!

Thanks for your replies Coen en Lennart and yes picture #4 was taken at the spot near 18C. It was very early morning and there was very little light. Aircraft came taxiing around 18C to take off at 36L and I was lucky because the Delta A330 was closely followed by a KLM 737. The taxitrack at that po...

Since the alarming messages on the board concerning the "piracy-practise" of Photobucket I haven't touched the site anymore and consequently couldn't post any pictures on this forum. Now I just read about the possibility of directly loading up pictures with a limit of six and no more than 800 pixels...

Very nice and rare pictures Gijs. These are the kind of planes we usually only see in Air Forces Monthly but you've been there, seen them and shot them, great!

Iwan, please stop teasing us with shots that are beyond the reach of us, mere mortals. On a more serious note I think it's a wonderful picture and indeed not over the top, because in my opinion HDR is a trick which was very fashionable for a time but seems to be on the way out. It may be nice for so...

Very nicely done! I just love that first shot with the pilot waving and I think that the slight unsharpness in the nose area only enhances (together with the very blurred background) the feel of speed. I haven't done any "heide shots" myself yet but these pictures (even taking the grey weather into ...

Dank je Iwan en wat een geheugen heb je; inderdaad spottersdag op Brogel en wel op 18 juli 2008. Wat jij aansnijdt klopt inderdaad, met hoeveel mensen we er precies waren weet ik niet meer maar het waren er in elk geval heel erg veel. Dat heeft volgens mij ook te maken met het feit dat er tegenwoord...
