Ever been so cold that even something you love isnt worth it? Well today i went to the airport with the intention of applying for a ramp agents position, however the job centre was closed. I took with me my 300D though. Problem was it was very windy and extremely cold, well below 0 with wind chill. I did however get a few pics of lesser quality but thought i would share anyway. going back this week, but with the weather reports being poor i dont think i am going to get this kind of perfect lighting for many months.
A quiet ramp area.

sorry about the fence, wind kept blowing it into the lense, spot the odd thing out.

Over edited

very limits of my lense

I know what you've been through. My last visit to Schiphol was also in extremely cold windy conditions. But if you are a real spotter, you don't stay at home when it's too cold! Rain... that's a different issue...

I think the shots look quite sharp. That ERJ on approach isn't your best shot ever, but I think the others turned out quite well! Wink

Thanks.
As to the odd thing out, nothing big just the speed brakes/spoilers open on the tail of the 146. You gotta feel sorry for those poor people being made to stand around for their bags, evil handlers:)

Thanks for the comments guys.

Ahh, right. On some of the aircraft at work its normal for the speed brakes to be left out on shutdown...

What lens do you have on your 300D Craig?

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!
