Wow, how did you get this shot? Really the right place at the right time. Minor technical issues like the post behind the plane and not a very attractive foreground or background, but hey, whatcha gonna do? There's no re-shooting this one. Newspaper front page photo.
how sad, my son builds and flies remote control planes and I know the time and money that goes into one. He also flies corporate jets as a job. Incredible capture on this on the timing and focus.
OOOoh - crappy! I flown Texans myself and know how easily they ground loop. The center of gravity is just too high for a tail dragger. In this incident since the prop touched ground; the engine has to be pulled and completely overhauled. BIG bucks!!
Good capture though and a good sense of action!
you have to get some bonus points for getting this lucky shot.... unless you planned this plane crash for a dpchallenge comp which just shows your commitment.
I would have cropped it in tighter. At least getting rid of the line of grass between the two runways.
An amazing capture. I hope everyone was ok? A 9 from me. Minor point I wonder how it would have looked with a level horizon/runway. Maybe it would have given the impression of being even more dramatic because the tail would have been higher and the angle steeper. Just a thought and a once in a lifetime shot IMHO. Well done. EDIT - I showed this to my wife and she immediately pointed out it was a RC plane? If so, how silly do I feel! Even so, great shot and still a 9.
