Nice shots ands colours.
Whats the "bulb" under the nosegear ? Reinforcement ? Its not standard on a A330.

It is to allow the nosegear leg to be mounted lower than normal, so that the floor is level for cargo loading/unloading. It was easier to do this than to re-engineer the whole nose section to allow for a longer nosegear leg.
