Forum rules
This 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
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:
Two highlights in one - Martin Retro and shooting at the canal-bridge crossing towards Polderbaan:
Almost looks better the old 747 did - cleaner anyway:
Just an Aeroflot but great spot:
Short finals for 06 just after sunrise - love the shadow thrown on the flaps next to the right (left seen from here) engine:
Three-triples from the terrace:
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?
Got the timing just right here - Strobe - Click!
New kid on the block - Corendon Dutch Airlines:
Lumps are just so photogenic:
Gleaming in the rising sun:
Another strobe - this one on the wing:
I wonder how long to go for these blue beauties!?
Colin caught it too - while balancing on a railing dangerously close to the cold canal water:
My last shot that day:
China Southern was quite exotic and arrived in gorgeous light:
Delta A330´s can become quite boring at AMS, but then you can go for an arty angle:
Even Vueling was snapped. Gotta love them canals:
Amazing - my first CRJ1000:
Korean had a treat for us - Special colors:
We were not the only ones enjoying the canal-bridge and Korean:
Not long to go this - Soooo glad I caught it:
Nothing like close ups - Emergency exit:
The end - with a KLM 747 landing about 5 minutes before sunrise - had to get up early for this:

Extremely well done, what a great collection Egon.
As for the MD-11s, about three more years I've been told.

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.

Re: Amazing Amsterdam
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.Key wrote:Extremely well done, what a great collection Egon.

The oldest MD11s will probably soldier on for another year of 2 after that.....

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