Just a few highlights from my visit to AMS. First visit in 2 months as the weather predictions have been crap all the time. Predictions where crap for today too, but it turned out to be quite nice after all.

More photos on my site.

The Denim F50 was a new one for me, as was of course the KLM 738 with special livery. The picture of the 738 is not that good though, but it will be around for another 6 months or so, so I'll get that one later. The NW A330 was shot with a shuttertime of 1/20th! A personal record. Absolute stunner of the day was the JAL Cargo 747 though, with its bare metal livery! It took of from the wrong runway but at least I got it taxiing by!

I shot the DC-10 like all other photos. However, the plane made a very rough landing and that caused the smoke.

shutter time 1/180th
aperture F8.0
ISO rating 100
lens 168mm
