Flying over the Dutch countryside

Yesterday I had the opportunity to o along on a test flight with one of the Fokker 100 aircrafts. We took of from the Fokker maintenance base in Woensdrecht and did a two-and-a-half hour testflight, which gave me the chance to make some pictures from the Dutch landscape from above.

Here we are making a right turn after take off heading over the island of Tholen in the province of Zeeland. The weather was perfect, clear sky low humidity and nice fluffy clouds. The village you see is called Oud Vossemeer [Old fox lake]. In the WS you find a picture of the city of Bergen op Zoom, near the Air Force Base of Woensdrecht. In this city lives NINIX and janone.

Well I hope you don’t are fed up with my aerial pictures, flying and photography is an ideal combination for me.

PP- work:
Shot with my Sony Cybershot, adjusted contrast and saturation, rotated 3 degrees ccw, cropped and resized. Sharpened and add frame.

Hi Hans,

Wonderful landscape, colors, patterns and clouds.

thanks,

Just an incredible view you have here Hans! Love the cloud! Nice thirds here I can see forever! I don't know how you do this, everytime I try to take a pic from a plane I get this horrible rainbow effect from the glass! Do you hang your head out the window?

Hiya Hansie

Hey this concerns me, are you allowed to let go of the steering wheel to take these shots?? :-) only kidding, love this view and I can see why you enjoy your job my friend. Superb detail and I love the shadows cast on the fields by the clouds too.

TFS kind regards Smurfie

Hi Hans,

amazing air view! Beautiful Dutch land. Love the colors!

Congratulations,
Romeu

Hello Hans,
I like your job. To be able to fly and take aerial pics is awesome. The landscape is beautiful and I get the impression of vastness and freedom. Best regards, Danilo

Bonjour Hans,
Joli POV aérien, les ombres des nuages assez fabuleuses (celle de gauche surtout), forment sur la terre des formes assez particulières!
Cà donne envie de planer, ce que tu as eu la chance de faire à bord de cet avion!
Merci de ce partage
Amicalement Odile

This is beautiful Hans.
What a flat area of country this is!
I imagine you would get some pretty bad floods here at times?
It looks similar to parts of Canterbury in the east of the South Island of NZ and some parts of the North Island.
A great arial shot.
TFS

Hi Hans,

Please keep on shooting landscapes and cityscapes from the air, planes, etc... I think they are terrific!

I cannot believe the beauty of the green fields in the Netherlands! It's a patchwork quilt from the air. I like the shadow of the clouds on the ground.

thanks for sharing your homeland with us! Lisa

Hier hou ik van Hans! Mooi overzicht van je o zo vlakke maar groene land. Prachtige scherpte en aantrekkelijke natuurlijke kleuren. En dan die ruimtelijke ordening: zo nauwkeurig, zo netjes afgebakend, zo Hollands ;o). Maar daardoor creëer je ook ruimte, hoe dicht bevolkt een regio ook is. Hadden ze dat maar in Vlaanderen gedaan...
TFS & groeten,
Erik

Hallo Hans. Vliegen spreekt al tot de verbeelding en dan met zo'n mooi uitzicht is iedere minuut genieten.
Mooi werk en een duidelijke bij behoorde toelichting.

Hoi Hans,
Dit is gaaf zeg! Zo vrij als een vogel in de lucht...... En dan óók nog zulke mooie foto's maken; prachtig!
Ik herken dit gebied; je hebt zèlfs nog een stukje van Schouwen-Duiveland "meegenomen" (links boven). St Philipsland is duidelijk te zien evenals het Grevelingenmeer, het Volkerak en het Schelde-Rijnkanaal. Ben je nog over de westkust van Schouwen gevlogen?
Ik vlieg met enige regelmaat boven dit gebied mee in een helicopter van mijn zwager.
Groet uit Renesse,
Adri

hi hans, i like that you composed this with the town in the thirds, excellent colors and details, nice work,
tfs,
scott

Beautiful capture of this view.
That little camera sure works well.

Hello Hans,

Sometimes photographs from an elevated point of view can tell a lot about the landscape, that is provided you're not too high!
This is the just right altitude to expose the scenery at its best...
Excellent details, good visibility and great colours!

Wat een mooi panorama! Zo zou ik ook eens een
ballonvaart willen boven onze gemeente

Bonsoir mon ami,
that our planet is beautiful view of the sky, then no, I don't have enough of your photographs taken in flight. You are the Yann Arthus-Bertrand Dutch.
Like many, I find that the cloud shadows playing on the beautiful land, they also give the notion of altitude.
I have not seen nor Ninix nor Janone on the workshop, sorry, with the speed of the Fokker it's just normal, but this photography is a very high quality too.
A soon, kiss
Ton amie Corinne

Hi Hans, both photos are very interesting to see. The land is so flat, no hills at all. Beautiful countryside with all those patch-work fields. Nice colours too.
Great job you've got!!

Hi Hans,
Another beautiful view at flight of the bird! You chose well your bird!
It is nice for you to mix flying and photography! Who couldn't like that!
You captured so well the play of light and shadow, here! And the fluffy clouds, the quiet river and the plain landscape are pleasant to see! Bravo! Annie

Hi Hans,

Een mooie lappendeken is Nederland toch. En hoe vlak. Echt helemaal nog niet het kleinste hobbeltje in dit landschap. Wel heel erg mooi!!

Groetjes, Dennis

Great landscape shot - I'd never get bored of seeing new and interesting aerial photo's.

Geweldig om het zo uit de lucht te zien. Wat zijn wij dan maar klein als je bedenkt hoe groot de oppervlakte is die de foto bestrijkt.

Fijne compositie. Mooi hoe al die lappen grond verschillen in kleur, het water dat zich een weg baant en dan die wolken.
Hoe een " toefje " wolk toch voor een grote schaduw kan zorgen !

" Kritiek " : er hangt voor mij een lichte waas over.
Misschien nog wat méér satureren of nog wat ophelderen ?
Ach ...

This is great view. wonderful composition with great detail and colours.
