This was taken at the plane flew over head. Its a weird angle, but I think that makes it unique.

I would have preferred the level shot , but thats just my opinion. I want to experience that sometime. A little L goes a long way.

Mar 05, 2009 17:55 | #3 Yeah, if I had more time there I would have done a few different shots. Its the same plane as the shot above it and its really more of an accident that it came out. I was just snapping as it went over head. If I would have had a few hours or even an hour to shoot it would have been lovely. I had 20mins. It was on a family trip last week and nobody wanted to come with me to this beach. Me and my mom went and drove out there like an hour before our ship left. Next time I'm taking my time there and shooting different angles.

Go to Airliners.net or YouTube and you can find tons of stuff on that airport. The videos of people getting blown across the beach by the jet engines are great (during take off). http://mlav.com
