A scene you always dream of, but rarely get to see.
Sometimes you need luck in this hobby and for this photo, I had about 5 different levels of luck with all the right timings.
In the early morning it was very foggy, but that started to lift and it became sunny. It enabled me to shoot some photos of the de-icing. After a while, it became foggy again. It went up to the point where it was useless to take any photos, simply because you could not see the aircraft (in time). To give you an example, there was an Emirates B777 (not a small plane) and I could only see it as it passed over my head.
I still persisted to stay at runway 01R, just in case the fog would lift. I ended up playing Sudoku on my phone for 30 minutes, while waiting inside the rental car. In the mean time, my friend was making his way to the airport to join me at my location. He said that there were blue skies all around, but I still couldn't see anything.
I knew that there was a SAS A330 inbound and it was getting lighter outside. I went out and prepared for its arrival. Faint patches of blue sky were starting to show over my head.
Then I heard an aircraft coming closer - it was the A330. It flew over and literally ripped the fog open like I've only seen on videos. At that point, I knew the delayed United 757 couldn't be that far out anymore.
My friend arrived at my location and not one minute later we were treated to the most amazing approach I've ever seen in my life, the 757 (a known vortex-machine) ripped open the fog and its wake caused the 'upside-down mushroom'-effect that you see on the bottom of the photo.

You mention luck, but this image is not about luck. It's about your perseverance and your
willingness to make sure you were in the right place at the right time. Sometimes we make
out own luck. Add to that your photography skills and an image like this is the result.
Well done.

hope you had a good time spotting at oslo :) remeber this day, you was lucky to get a shot
like this. Hope you liked the A330 from SAS and the royal norwegian airforce C130.
