Amsterdam Schiphol March 21st - 24th.
Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2014 12:52 pm
Hello all, Hope you are well.
I've finally got round to pretty much finishing my editing from Schiphol in March. I headed across there with my mates Chris and Ryan in hope to catch the Nuclear Security Summit traffic, but unfortunately it didn't really work out like that. We were warned about the security before we headed out, but we didn't really think it would be as bad as it was. Army convoys on every corner, tanks and police everywhere. Essentially, we made the best of a bad situation. With many mixed messages from the police about photography, we tried our best. We kind of accepted the fact that it was going to very hard to catch the government stuff, but luckily Schiphol has a huge variety of traffic including some really nice cargo movements. So, here's what we were able to catch over the weekend...
Friday Afternoon / Evening from taxiway Quebec.
