Spent Friday and Saturday at the Zeppelinheim spotting location at Frankfurt staying at the near by Intercity Hotel, picked a great couple of days with dawn to dusk blue skies

747s and A380s to follow

Some great photos Paul. And lucky with the weather too!

Smashing shots - always nice to see retro schemes and love the sunset/sunrise pics.

Amazing Paul!

What a catch to have 3 retro's

Love the MD11 and Etihad special 330, I also like the ANA triple with the 4 engine OTT in the background, and the evening contrail show

I have wondered what shots are like on the bridge when they are taking off going East, it looks like the smaller Airbus stuff isn't too high at that point? Or was a lot of zoom needed?

Going there in a couple of weeks, staying at the Inter City hotel as well and going to the bridge, as it's not far away. I hope to see that S7 too as I've not seen one yet!

Hi James I used my 5D3 on the first day and my 7D on the second day with a 100-400L, found the full frame 5D a little short for the A321 737 and smaller but the 7D with the crop sensor was dead on

super set Paul, too many good ones to pick out the best of all.

Looks like a very good trip

Great set Paul...

Looks like you were very lucky with the weather!

Dan

great shots Paul

Cheers for the kind words chaps

*bump*

Sorry Paul, you still going to post the 747/380 shots I do want to see them
