Two weeks ago I had a long phone call with a friend of us who is a photographer. The result was (or is) that I am waiting now for the postman bringing a parcel with the Sigma 70-300 APO inside!
I will test it at my first spotting trip this year on March, 19th at DUS!

At "my" German forum someone told me, that I should better keep my hands off 28-300 lenses!

The aspect of "light travelling" is not so important. I would have an 28-90 and a 70-300. From my experiences I say, that I won`t have to change very often. At DUS I only need the 28-90 (at the train ...

Thanks for the links to your pictures. They (the pictures in dark weather, too) are really good - better than this I made with my (very) old camera sometime. Am I right, that most of them are taken from "the wall" at Steenokkerzeel? My parents are planning a one-day-trip to Brussel and maybe I`ll go ...

Objectives: Canon or Sigma?

I am looking for a lens for my new Canon EOS 3000V. I visited three shops at Aachen, but all said something different. But now I think one of the following should be the best for me:

Sigma 70-300 4-5,6 APO Macro Super

Canon EF 75-300 4-5,6 USM III

In the first shop they said, that the difference ...

Yesterday, on the way home from the coast, we made a stop at Steenokkerzeel to have a look at this place. Really nice! Unfortunately I had my spotting-camera leaved at home! :(
For anyone who is interested: There is a busstop about 100m from this place, named "Steenokkerzeel Nieuwstraat". From ...

No, I mean movements. For example (its only an example - no reality!):

Movements of Airport xxx:
01.01.2005, Flight 4U 123 to xxx, Airbus 319, D-AKNH
01.01.2005, Flight LH 567 to xxx, Boeing 737, D-ABEK

and so on......!

It is a sort of list.....!

Movements?

Do someone of you know a website, where I can find all or nearly all movements? Especially interested am I in FCO and ZRH.
I was looking for hours via google, but I only found websites with "special" flights. What I am searching for are regular flights.

Thanks!
Two years ago my teacher said that my English was desastrous.
Now the only problem I have is, that I use sometimes Vlaams words when I am speaking English.

I wrote this report one year ago for a German forum, so I only had to translate it! :D

Thanks for all your help! :D
Surfing along the websites of "De Lijn" and the "Gemeente Steenokkerzeel" (map) I found out how to get there by public transport. I post it for anyone who will have the same question:

Train from Leuven or Brussel-Noord to Kortenberg, bus until stop "Steenokkerzeel Kerk ...

Nice pictures! Thanks!

How much traffic is there usually? I am interested especially in long distance planes from Asia and America like 767, 777, 747, 330, 340.

Yes, I´m a really big fan of germanwings. It`s such a nice airline with such nice fares!
For example: In April I will do a flight CGN-MUC-CGN with 4U. I pay about 95,- complete.
And they have so nice planes - I really love Airbus especially the littles...!

I am ...

Hello,

I found the following photo at a German website:

Can anyone tell me, from which place it is taken, and how I ...
