Welcome!
It’s been a while since I created a topic here, excuse my rustiness!
A while back, I moved house so I was pretty busy for a couple of weeks. After those couple of weeks passed, I left for Amsterdam Schiphol at 8am, which may not be as “early morning” for some of you mad spotters, but in my books it is:)
As I pulled into the spotting area, there were no cars to be seen. Nobody. I knew something was wrong. I thought to myself: probably just because it’s a little early. Luckily I was right, and there weren’t any problems.
I made my way up runway 18R, or the Polderbaan, whilst taking pictures on the way of the widebodies arriving from all over the globe.
Camera equipment was my Canon Eos 350d with a Tamron 70-300mm lens. Hoping to get a new camera body for Christmas to replace that old antique.
All pictures were taken on October 25th, 2020.
Enjoy!
