The image was a plane transitioning from flying to landing. You dont get smoke off the wheels when taking off unless there is something very wrong. The distortion under the wings was caused by the hot exaust gases from the engines.
The image was a cropped down version but the main reason for the artifacts was over-sharpening. The area I cropped was 800x534 and then resized to 640x427.
The view of the original is [url=//www.pbase.com/image/1850152]here[/name][/link.]. (//www.pbase.com/image/1850152)

I was not inside the fence I was siting on top of my van which is why you dont see the fence. The Roadway is very close to the Runway however the original better shows the true distance.
A 6x optical lens was used. The only reason I didnt go farther to the left was that I wanted to include more wheel smoke.

I love doing digital like this. I also like how you hid the street light behind the tree. 5-6 second exposure?

Nice contrast the one going out is well lit and the one that is in is a silouette. Did they pose this for you or was it blind chance? eitherway it appears spontanious.

Its a bit blurry because of movement, a cheap tabletop tripod would have made it clearer
Im not sure if you mean the transition from light to dark across the board, or if its something my literla mind is missing.
