Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a very low altitude with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly a glossy light blue with a white belly, the 2 colours separated by a dark blue stripe running along the body. There are white "KLM" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with blue "KLM" titles on the sides of the white tail and white engine pods. The rear fuselage and the wing-tips are blurred and grainy, with blooms of colour along shiny surfaces and edges. Lush blue sky fills the background, with hints of cloud on the left of the frame.

Schipol Sunday 26th April 2026.

Front-side view of a 3 engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is largely white, with a thick red stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, and black "Air Lanka" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The red stripe sweeps up and down to fill the tail and rear fuselage. A stylised white bird with out-spread wings is on the tail. The planes centre engine intake is on the top of the fuselage, running through the bottom of the tail, and exhausting through the tail cone, with black "TriStar" text on the sides of the white intake. The white registration "4R-ULA" is on the side of the lower rear fuselage, with the black letters "ULA" on the open nose wheel doors, and white letters "ULA" on the top of the tail. Black tarmac taxiways fill most of the foreground, with a patch of green grass surrounded by grey concrete in the bottom right corner. More black taxiways surround a large, yellowing patch of grass in the background, with more grass leading up to cars on a road in the distance, with trees beyond vanishing into grey haze.

Almost head-on view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing slightly to the left of the camera, following a curving yellow line on the black taxiway. The plane is largely white, with a blue stripe running along the body, covering the passenger cabin windows, and black "IcelandAir" titles on the upper forward fuselage. Black tarmac taxiways fill the foreground and a large chunk of the background, with yellow and red stripes marked on the surface. More black tarmac wends it's way through large islands of grass surrounded by grey concrete, with scattered yellow airport vehicles and parked blue mobile airstairs.

Rear side view of a high-winged, 4 engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left and away from the camera. The plane is mostly white, with a large red and blue spatchcock on the side of the rear fuselage, a smaller but similar splotch under the wings but above the open main landing gear doors, and another large one on the white tail, with the red splash replaced with a red oblong with a large white cross in the middle. The black registration "HB-IXF" is on the side of the rear fuselage, next to a small, red and white Swiss flag. Black tarmac fills the foreground, marked with yellow lines for planes to follow to their gates, with islands of green grass surrounded by grey concrete filling the background with black taxiways weaving through them.

Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor engined airliner taxiing from left to right and slightly away from the camera. The plane is grey on top with a dark blue lower half, with a red pinstripe running along the body, ending in a half arrowhead below and just aft of the cockpit windows, and white text "Operated by CityFlyer Express". There is black partial text "Ways Express" on the upper forward fuselage, the start obscured by the wing, and the grey registration "G-BUEA" on the lower rear fuselage. The tail is grey at the bottom, with a dark blue and red triangle at the top rear of the grey, with a dark blue upper half with a large, grey heraldic crest towards the top, with grey text "ATR42" right at the top. Black tarmac taxiways fill the foreground, with wide strips of green grass separated by more black taxiways filling the background. The nose of a white jet airliner with thick orange and blue stripes running across the body pokes into frame from the right, with a small pink and white van parked in front.

  Cheers!
  Although, to be honest, I’m not too impressed with it – it’s a bit arty, and not because of anything I chose to do, but because of the equipment I used, and I can see too
  many things wrong with it.
