I'm not holding this out as Art ...

... in fact it's really a fairly cliched image. What struck me about it is how it shows that almost any photographic tool has some place in one's camera bag. This was taken with a consumer megazoom camera that has a digital sensor the size of your pinky fingernail. That made it easy, without even trying hard, to get the entire 50-foot length of this bomber in sharp focus even with a telephoto and at fairly close range. It would be difficult to do this with a 35mm-size or even 1.6x crop factor sensor/film, at least without stopping down to the point of needing to think about using a tripod.

Just goes to show - it's not what you have, but what you do with it!

 

Nice detail of the rivets.

Hi August, while it is true that almost any pocket digital camera could take this shot, very few would have the eye to take it. I love it. had you thought abot this in b/w.

Martin, I think the b&w version works -- it is basically a monochrome image -- but I find myself preferring the original with its blue cast. Not sure why.
