  2. Yes, like babooshka said, just right; much more artistic than the usual advertising shots. Love the logo on the tail, too. I'm a white-knuckle flyer, but I still can appreciate the beauty of the design!

  3. Perfect post. Now why didn't I think of that? I'm always amazed that these big cargo planes can get off the ground.

  4. Ah, good one! I flew Cathay once and I must say it's the best flight I've ever experienced.

  6. Reminded me of the decisive moment theory of photography by Henri Cartier-Bresson that we learned during our masters...

    What a great pic to illustrate the theory and what the great Bresson spoke about.

  8. Very nice timing! When I have the chance to see one, I will try to capture a photo that looks like this, too!

    My R posts are here and here. Happy midweek to you!

  10. When these aircraft are caught like this, it looks impossible for them to stay up! Good photo, and a good R!
    On behalf of the ABC Team, thank you for continuing to participate.

  11. I've always been fascinated with airplanes... I should go out to the observation park at RDU International sometime for some takeoff shots. I don't know why I've never done that. It's not that far from me.

    Thanks for the inspiration.
