Sorry Spooky, my vote for photo award winner! :wink: Friggin' awesome!


Thanks. My only gripe about it is it's a little gritty. The longest exposure my camera gets is 15 seconds so I had to adjust the speed resulting in a less sharp image.


Gritty, my arssaroonie! That is part of the character of this picture that I like! Dude, this is one great shot. Love to have a copy at full size and res. (promise not to make a poster out of it 8)) I love seeing what you artists can create with your cameras. I wish I had the talent. That's a calendar month shot!

Well, if you come again i'll gladly let you tag along while I do security and get some shots like this.
Ahhh... The benefits of access. :? If I ever make it back I'll look you up. Can I bring along a few (dozen) friends? :wink:

Spooky, the grittiness MAKES the shot! Love it!

Yep. NE down the taxiway.

It's taken with a Canon PowerShot, 15 second exposure.

That was on the plane at Reno last year. Precious Metal also had it on at least one of it's wing tips.
