very cool photo!

Jasvox · 01-04-2010, 12:10 PM

cool shot.,..would have been even cooler if the plane was actually at that angle when you captured it. I love aviation....was always a huge passion of mine.

wow, i love it

I dont think the anlge works. As an aviation photographer I know that a loaded 747 would not bank 45 degrees, full flap, low altitude for a landing. Given those circumstances I find it hard to comment with regards to its quality as an aviation photograph. Although I will give credit to the exposure and framing (if it were not angled in such a way) and maybe a bit tighter.

Thanks for your feedback ;-) Just having some fun..I thought it added a bit of "drama" to an otherwise usually static and boring image!

out of interest what sort of distance are you from the plane when this was taken

I was approx. 200 feet to the left of the runway (flightpath), and the plane was coming at me during it's landing approach, and would have been about 200 feet above me from where I was standing!
