Cheers for all the kind comments! As I say, that’s only a very small proportion out of 150 or so editable shots.
I’d say DUS is worth it yes, but you rely very much on the weather. It’s not like MAN where if it’s raining you can hope to catch a few different shots such as 747’s blowing the rain off the runway. Firstly there are few heavy movements (that’s not to say thee movements are boring!) and secondly, the terraces are near the thresholds at both ends of the runway. In other words, there’s very little you can do in crappy weather, and nearly a whole day of photos on Saturday will probably just sit on my hard drive forever cos they just don’t look exciting at all.
On the other hand…get some Sun…you got nice movements (UK guys would particularly like Aeroflot Tupolevs, the German charter fleets, and various others like S7, Sun Express, MAT, Pulkovo, Privatair etc.) and 2 great viewing terraces, either allowing for parking/ramp/taxi shots, or approach/hold/touchdown shots.
Jamie: I have since been told that the 763 is used because it’s stuffed with cargo going out to Germany every morning.
