Take Off

For the 5 Weeks In May Challenge, Minimal. I saw this guy getting ready to take off, sitting at the end of the runway waiting for clearance, so I pulled over and waited myself.

Nice little bird

[Brian Baptie]

He looks so alone up there!!

Wow! Fantastic picture! You were able to capture the details of the plane.

Very cool shot there... love how you almost got the propellers to stop moving. :)

[Pam Hawkes]

Looks like there were clear skies. Nice shot.

[Rick Schies]

@sarasdadandmom Yep, it was just after takeoff

I tried this one afternoon and waited for almost two hours ... they never took off. Lucky you and FANTASTIC capture!!

[Denise Breimeir]

There is a small airport near where I live and I see planes like this landing all the time. I've never photographed one though and was just thinking today I need to. Jealous of your awesome photo!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Good capture! It is hard to shoot planes!

[Mike Llewellyn]

Too young to remember Sky King?

[Rick Schies]

No, remember the series somewhat, back in the 60's? Not a well known program, but do remember it.

Fantastic shot! Love the composition and colours - perfect for minimal :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautifully captured, Rick.

[Sabine]

perfect for the minimal theme !

[Beverly Carmichael]

And he is saying, "free at last!" Nice action shot, Rick. I love it that you stop and look around you daily. I know sometimes 365 seems like a burden but this is the up side.

[Della]

looks like a model airplane :)

[Margaret Tryon]

Good shot Rick. Love the shades of blue.

[seasnappi]

great shot Rick :)

[Pat Knowles]

Love how it hangs in the air !

[Ade Akinyede]

It looks lonely up there...or free. Nice capture

[Jane Hyde]

great for the theme

['Saint' kk4go]

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nice shot- and the colors are great too.
