A visitor from Germany posted Tue April 28, 2009: Absolute awesome shot. 5 Stars that's for sure. But one thing worries me about this picture. All these wires,electrics and hydraulics are not covered i could imagine that they might break and that worries me.

A visitor from Netherlands Antilles posted Fri November 10, 2006: This is class. Scarcely touching down and you got the shot. Thumbs up!
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun October 29, 2006: Stunning shot!
A visitor from United States posted Sat October 28, 2006: Rare shot at precise moment of touch down. Very precise and difficult to acomplish !
A visitor from Italy posted Sat October 7, 2006: Great pic!
A visitor from United States posted Fri October 6, 2006: A great closeup of engineering in action. Maybe this shot should be sent to the many film editors who mistakenly show one type of aircraft in flight (737) but then show a totally different type of aircraft actually landing (747) - thinking we won't notice it's not the same one just cuz we only see the landing gear. Sure, it's picky, but we're geeky like dat...
A visitor from United States posted Fri October 6, 2006: Thank you x3! this shot has it all. actually exciting. words fail me.

A visitor from United States posted Thu October 5, 2006: Perfect shot Roel! As you say, the shot captures it all. Could be a great shot for an ad campaign. Keep up the good work.
A visitor from United States posted Thu October 5, 2006: This is incredible! I can actually (almost) read the writing on the leftmost tire!

A visitor from Russian Federation posted Fri September 29, 2006: Very very nice
A visitor from Hong Kong posted Fri September 29, 2006: Five stars! It JUST a few seconds to see the landing gears came of the rubber burning smoke! Very detail was the right landing gears were a about 0.0001cm and touched the tarmac! Very INCREDIBLE shot!
A visitor from United States posted Fri September 29, 2006: The lighting ... the shutter speed ... the cropping ... PERFECT!
A visitor from India posted Fri September 29, 2006: Awesome shot! Five Stars...
A visitor from United States posted Fri September 29, 2006: Literally where the rubber meets the road!! Interesting that the wheels have not even begun to spin yet. It's no wonder why major airport runways have large deposits of rubber in the TDZE.
A visitor from Thailand posted Fri September 29, 2006: Holy great mothe of god! That's fantastic! At first glance, I didn't expect much when saw the thumbnail. But when I clicked for a large detail, this picture make me stunning for a while. The picture is tact sharp! and showing great detail. The perfect motion blur is a great bonus too. You must be a very grand photographer taking such a sharp (moving) shot at this focal length! Arch TH
A visitor from Australia posted Fri September 29, 2006: Top photo Roel. You have managed to catch the exact moment where the 744 transitions from a beast free in the air to a beast firmly on the ground. The wonderful mechanical complexity of a commercial aircraft's landing gear is fascinating!
A visitor from Canada posted Fri September 29, 2006: Spectacular! Great detail.
A visitor from United States posted Fri September 29, 2006: SWEET photograph... very nice sharp and detailed... I envy photographers with such skills...
A visitor from Canada posted Fri September 29, 2006: Are these goodyear or michelin? :p
A visitor from United States posted Fri September 29, 2006: Incredible timing, indeed! Note that on the rear-most bogey, the inboard tire has already made contact with the asphalt, while the outboard tire has not.
A visitor from Sweden posted Fri September 29, 2006: Great shot...
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri September 29, 2006: I bet you heald your breath there for a second to take such a clear shot! :D
A visitor from Spain posted Fri September 29, 2006: Amazing photo... I've been staring at it for 5 minutes and still finding infinite details. Well done!
A visitor from Germany posted Thu September 28, 2006: Very well done! I guess it's not easy to take a such a photo!
A visitor from Netherlands posted Thu September 28, 2006: The focus is absolutely perfect. All those details... wow! 5 stars, stunning shot!
