    That is bloody cool! You didn't get chased away by the Park Police?

    What Samer said. I don't think I've ever seen light trails from a landing plane -- creative thinking there, old boy.

    Thanks for the comments. Actually, it was taken at Gravelly Point Park. It's a small park where you can see planes come and go up close. This particular plane is taking off.....at 6 a.m.

  5. Samer Farha (57 months ago | reply)

    Ahh, 6am. That makes sense. The park closes at dark, and I've been chased away in that area before. Not being a morning person, I'd never have considered that it was at that ungodly hour!

    Awesome capture. I've seen a few other similar shots of planes taking off from Reagan. This is the best by far.

    I was coming to see who added me as a contact and BAM! This picture. Wow, instant fave. To take a good picture you sometimes need some sacrifices as you mention above.
    I'll add you as a contact too... ;-)

    This is just so freakin cool. I live close enough to the airport, but have no hope of getting up early enough for something like this.

  37. sduffy (53 months ago | reply)

    This is one of the best airplane shots I've seen... The composition is wonderful. Congratulations!
