 What looks like a landing is actually a takeoff (the bright white lights are the plane's "landing lights" :). There is this thin, long bridge near the airport, a great spot for plane watchers and local fishermen. As one of the people I've met there said, the contrast between the serene environment of fishing and the heavy machinery flying overhead is just astounding.

Took this one in Raw, extracted the JPG using Exiftool, resized, sharpened and saved using IrfanView.

Too bad it's tilted a bit.

The local time +1h to the camera time.

Nice shot but I would have given an extra point if the horizon was level

Good long exposure. The reflection off the foreground water distracts. Probably too much black space around the subject.
