Schiphol Thursday 03-04-2012

Post by planekees »

Probably one of my worst days at Schiphol. I had hoped for showers with sunshine in between, but the day started off with heavy fog and it didn't get much better. Having driven over there some eighty miles from Tilburg, I thought I might as well stay however and try to get a few shots

1. The day started off like this

2. On one of the cargo platforms this Great Wall Airlines 747 was being readied for departure

3. I hoped for a nice take-off shot but the plane turned out to be empty and rocketed skywards after bearly half the runway lenght

4. When this KLM 777 took off it was so dark that I've just done it in b&w

5. With this shot I was hoping for a little more reflections in the belly of the Embraer

8. At the end of the day this one made up a little for the frustrations

Sometimes you have to chalk it down to experience and walk away...

I reckon you did pretty well with that No 5 shot, the reflections look pretty cool to me!
