Taking Off! by jyokota

Taking Off!

We were on the runway for over two hours AFTER we landed. I had lots of time for airplane photography on the ground.

I considered turning this into b & w but I like the yellow, and the blue sky.

Awesome POV! Were you sitting on the pilot's lap?

@agedrunner @mzzhope @kporte @lynnz -- thanks for your comments!
@Taffy -- That's what I liked about this photo -- it was such a different perspective than I usually manage to get. We had spent so very long on the runway that the pilot kept "inching" towards the occupied gates, hoping something would open up. Seriously, how can Dallas get a scraping of snow and hold airline passengers hostage for over two hours? But because we were moving slowly, I was able to grab some unusual perspectives. I had just turned my camera off when I realized I had another opportunity to get a line image when a plane rolled into the scene! You can see that image here: http://365project.org/jyokota/omake/2014-02-06 @timandelke -- your comment made me laugh out loud. No pilot's lap involved here, but @Taffy often does gets to sit right next to the pilot when flying to Beaver Island.

Great shot but it sounds like a very frustrating flight. It's bad enough sitting on a delayed plane when you're waiting to take off - but to be so close to your destination and not able to leave sounds even worse.

I'm glad you kept this in color. The colors really are a great part of this picture.
