Four photos from Zurich airport, a wonderfully photographer friendly airport. Nice open air viewing terrace on the terminal roof, and a lot of action to watch. Four shots from the active runway:-









Smooth landings.

The police car in the third shot is not sharp, must have been travelling at quite a speed as the SQ 747 is sharp, so the photo is a bit disappointing, but a good reason to go back and take more. If anybody else is in ZRH airport, then well worth going up onto the roof terrace, although there is a small charge of 2 SFr.

Making great use of the continuous shooting setting on the camera, great to fire off several shots a second then choose the best one. Only problem that I have is that I cannot take RAW photos in burst mode, only JPEG, so the photos here are all JPEGs.

Not got many military aircraft, unless the odd one is at a civil airport. Might try and capture some though, which would be a nice change of scene.
