Your picture just gives me the feel of excitement that large airports generate for me. Super shot!

A visitor from United States posted Wed September 14, 2005:
The lights on the ground are sharp and crisp. Having the landing strip on the right of the photo adds a lot of character to the overall shot. This picture tells a great story of city life at night.

A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed September 14, 2005:
Wow!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed September 14, 2005:

A visitor from United States posted Tue September 13, 2005:
Great shot

A visitor from United States posted Tue September 13, 2005:
The photo is beautifully framed, perfectly exposed, wonderfully detailed and provides a unique perspective because of the amount of ground detail included in such a wide angle shot. Managing not to have any parts of the aircraft obscuring the view is a testament to the photographer's skill. First rate!

A visitor from Belgium posted Sun September 11, 2005:
Very Very interesting picture, I love the colors and it has something charming!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri September 9, 2005:
I loved the detail. You can even see the cars on the road!!!! Also incredible colours. Very good shot well done!!!!!

A visitor from Poland posted Thu September 8, 2005:
I love this airport. Excellent

A visitor from Germany posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Hi all,
thanks for all your nice comments so far.
I don´t know how long it will take, until the exif data i submitted shows up in the remark field, so i´ll just give it to you this way: Taken with D70 70-200mm VR @70mm, f2.8 1/15s, VR on, ISO 1000. It was taken on short final (well that´s obvious...) with a Groundspeed of appr. 140 knots.
I hope that helps.
One more thing about the below 10,000ft comment: I am only trying this kind of shot under certain conditions, which include a familiar airport, good weather situation and a low traffic environment.
In advance i check with the Cpt, if he feels OK with me taking a picture on final approach and i try to arrange an early final configuration including the final checklist, before i even try to shoot.
BTW, i´m not in control of the A/C when i take these pictures...
If at any moment i feel that taking pictures will affect safety in ANY way, i don´t do it.
Alright, i´m glad you like it and i´ll try to show you some more in the future,

regards,

Denis

A visitor from Poland posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Amazing shot and amazing city ;)

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Just when you think no more original shots can be taken from AMS, you show up! Man, that photo is Excellent!

A visitor from Uruguay posted Thu September 8, 2005:
It's an excellent shot because you can apreciate all the details at night.

A visitor from Colombia posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Hi Dennis
Excellent picture, the Amsterdam night looks great on it, and a beautiful view of the runway, I'm not a pilot (I'm flight ops engineer), but I know the best airport view is at night, I like too much the approach pics.
Good work and thanks for this art work

A visitor from Iran, Islamic Republic Of posted Thu September 8, 2005:

A visitor from Italy posted Thu September 8, 2005:
10000 asa? or approaching with a blimp?

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Nice Job Denis, that cannot have been easy. Long exposure time and a moving camera platform...well done.

A visitor from Brazil posted Thu September 8, 2005:
This is one of the most beautiful pictures I ever see, "Congratulations Dennis!!"

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu September 8, 2005:

Great job.

A visitor from United States posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Flying at night has an almost magical quality, one which you have captured in this great photo.

A visitor from Sweden posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Really cool photo! I love lights from the air, but as said in the remark: It's very hard to take these kind of photos! Well done!

A visitor from Australia posted Thu September 8, 2005:
This is a great photo
excelent job

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Beautifull picture, nice sharp with lots of details. Traffic of the highway is clearly visible and the center of Schiphol as well.

A visitor from Germany posted Thu September 8, 2005:
This definitely is an awesome picture. I love it.
What special care are you talking about? His lens obviously has IS.

A visitor from Czech Republic posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Hello, really nice, I like it very much cause I can see all the lights at the airport, good job, good luck, cya, Jay

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu September 8, 2005:
This is a great photo. You can see the runway light and the way itself. Also the scenery around is great.

A visitor from United States posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Great photo for all the reasons mentioned above.

Isn't "non-essential conversation" prohibited below 10,000ft? If so now does taking this photo become justifiable? Especially with the care needed to brace for a longer night shot.

A visitor from Finland posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Lovin' it.

A visitor from Malta posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Nice night pic

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu September 8, 2005:
First thought, very nice photo. Second thought which airport is this. Third thought, very sharp photo. Hmm, those road signs look Dutch. Fourth thought, lets scroll down, and I was right, its EHAM.

A visitor from Germany posted Thu September 8, 2005:
This is absolutely amazing!!! Can't imagine how to take such a night picture during a final. My respect!

A visitor from United States posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Nice Job Denis, that cannot have been easy. Long exposure time and a moving camera platform...well done.

A visitor from Norway posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Just love the lights and scenery in this picture!

A visitor from Germany posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Nice shot! Must have been really hard to hold the camera still for the long exposure :)

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu September 8, 2005:
WOW excellent picture. So clear and sharp.

A visitor from New Zealand posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Perhaps not easy, but your effort has certainly paid off. A spectacular photo!

A visitor from Italy posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Beautiful light effect!Great pics!

A visitor from United States posted Thu September 8, 2005:
First pic of this type I have seen, and all I can say is "Wow!"

A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu September 8, 2005:
Just one word; "Wow" Every photographer knows how difficult it is to shoot such an exceptional photo.Out of a moving object while pitch-dark with the chance of getting blurry and lots of grain. You tackled it all. "Outstanding"
