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.
I use the Eos 5D ( full frame ) with the EF500mm F/4
4 I had to wait for an appointment a few kilometers away from Schiphol.
Shot made in the rain ! For real big size (2750 x 3350) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3155/275 ... 00d6_o.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Very well placed, Papa Knotty (as one of the few, I guess, as I saw most of the other "usual suspects" hanging out in the 18R approach -just as I did ). Was this inside or outside the fence?

Outside the fence!
First I was there too..., the 18R, once I heard the news about 27 we made a sharp one-eighty, then high-speed inbound B'dorp (dir. Groep Sloten A4 bridge), run for life, made the pics... holy holy... what a hobby!
We went on advice of someone to 18R from the mcdonald spot. But we where doubtfull and had a carefull listening to the scanner. And yes it became to 27. I think we drove as fast as pappankotti, and we runned after him. And became just in time on the correct spot. On the departure there was also a runway change. So we had to drive from 24 to the 18L. It feld like old spottersday did return.
If last minute changes did not happen more pictures like this should be available by now...some of you know what I mean... ...but hopefully you like them:

Great shots Marco, I know you were just as surprised as I was, so great thing you could still make it there before she was parked !
I must say the timing of its (or her) arrival was excellent, that low evening sunlight illuminates the bird just beautifully. In the old brown colour scheme she would have shone like gold!
Went to see the VC-10 too. After arriving at Mickey D's place I decided to walk a little toward final. Lighting was great this evening.
1.
After a few more smaller planes nothing came by anymore and I noticed all the other spotters left. Thinking I was too late to catch the VC-10 at 18R I went toward East, big mistake though, because while I was standing next to the DDA hangar I saw the VC-10 flare off and touch down.
Eventually I wound up at the Hoofdvaart and took some sunset shots overthere.
