Today I came across of some amazing photo at Flickr. It’s showing an EVA Air Boeing 747-45EM taking off from runway 36L at Amsterdam - Schiphol (AMS / EHAM) (Netherlands). The great timing and angle just makes this shot, and the size of the 747, looking quite surreal. Just amazing if you ask me!

Wow! Incredible photo. I’m planning to go spotting planes at Amsterdam Airport, as I live very close to the airport. It’s a five minute drive to the spot that photo was made.
I really should go there soon!
Yeah, you should really go! Just don’t forget to share your photos!
This can’t be for real!!
The size of the people and the size of the 747 just don’t match.
Believe me, it is real! It’s a matter of perspective.
The image may not be real. The guy on the left side of the screen - by the right wing - looks to relax for such an event..
Realy need to see the next shot, the thrust from the engins would say it all.
It´s real, photo taken with a _big_ telelens, compresses the 3-dimensional space.
if it was real, those folks standing on the parking lot watching would all be deaf. They are not even trying to cover their ears!
The long lens foreshortans the image.Note the perspective of the road.
The runway is 475′ from this viewing point. Many airports have run-way
veiwing locations closer than that….Remember the F 15’s picture at the
Detroit River Airshow, that looked like it was right next to the
guy standing on his balcony? Same thing!
