===Spot E: Rock cliff by south apron=== | |||
If you walk south past the terminal you'll spot a small rock cliff by the rental car parking, just before the SAS cargo building with the MD80 on it. | |||
From this spot you'll get good head on pictures of aircraft taxiing in to the nearest international gates and also if 35 is in use you can get fair touchdown pictures. | |||
200mm is sufficient for most photos. | |||

===Spot F: East side of 35 threshold=== | |||
To reach this spot you'll have to walk or take the free coach down to the remote car park. To the right of the car park entrance you'll find a walk path that goes down along the runway. | |||
Follow this path till you reach the only viable spot where you can climb up to the runway level. You can't miss it. There you can follow the fence either towards the runway threshold or towards the new remote parking. There are high fences, but for 35 landings you can get good photos, and with a small step ladder you can take pictures above the fence. | |||
At this spot you can possible be approached by airport security, but act polite and you should have no problems. | |||
A below 100mm lense is recommended for close up photos, and 200 to 400mm for approach photos. | |||
