Couple things made me say "WOW"
First, the actual accident. Then the photo of the damage. Then the photographer. Nice to see that old timer around

Old timer Ron?
Thanks pal. I still can't believe it happened. I was listening to the ATC tower from my car police scanner and could not believe my ears when the 767 pilot announced that he thinks he struck the RJ.
Wow! I should have stayed where I was in South Boston though . It would have been a nice photo from Drydock up top of that Massport building that houses all of the freight companies.
The first one has some great lighting on it and gives me a very old-school/classic feeling, while the second one got me looking aswell, getting the feeling the photographer was on the runway at the time of the photo.

The first photo above did actually make me go wow, the colours and mood are excellent, even if the shot might not be too difficult. Well executed and worthy.

Quoting javibi (Thread starter): Not a challenging or even original shot by any means
Maybe not completely original but IMO it's quite challenging indeed. He's nailed that exposure perfectly, something in these kind of shots that needs quite a bit of experience. I normally (accidently) slightly over-expose the Sun or under-expose the entire image. He's done well. A very nice picture and one I'd love to have taken. Good call J.
Spence.

Quoting dlowwa (Reply 6): but this one made it all worth it. Very, very nice.
Hey, thank you so much! Much appreciated. I had some wonderful comments on this photo, it's quite humbling! I really appreciate the feedback and the comments here as well. I'm glad I dug this out of my hard drive!
Well this shot made me say wow last week. I'm not sure the light could get any better and the photog really nailed it. Seeing what people are doing with this lens, Nik (I think), Randall, etc. also has me really impressed.

Quoting NZ107 (Reply 20): Unfortunately it's hard to get anything like that without a full frame professional body!
It's indeed a great photo, I like it alot! But don't sell your equipment short, it may be a little harder for prosumer bodies to do something along those lines, but it can be done. Perfect exposure, steadiness, correct type of lens and careful editing goes a long way on even prosumer bodies.

The thing about that shot, or shooting the stars at night in general, without a rig to track the sky as it moves during exposure, you need an incredibly high ISO to keep the exposure time to a minimum. There is no way that my 7D could take it at that quality, especially quality good enough for Airliners.net.

Kavin have done a great job. Just magic! Do not remember such a sky made from the airplane.
12.800ISO is a good thing. My 5D has 6.400 and I'd be happy to try to get something the same. But for this I have to go to the southern side of the planet. These guys are lucky to have the sky we never had on the north.
25 sovietjet: Fyodor, the Milky Way can be seen in the northern hemisphere as well . Now photographing it...different story
26 NZ107: But having good quality pictures from ISO 12800 can go a long way! And I guess you hope the wing doesn't move around outside. I'd probably need a 20
27 cpd: More inspiring for me than all the Skyvan air-to-air photos in the world. That's awesome photography. Having a D3S to give quality clean enough to al
29 cpd: Well, it seems everyone is going up in that skyvan to take photos of fighter planes - but that photo of Kavin Kowsari, that's so unique.
30 spencer: I'm one of those that's been up in the Skyvan and to put it bluntly, that milkyway photo blows anything I've taken out of the sea!!!! No wonder it has
31 FYODOR: Ivan, astronomy is one of the subject of my interest. Could be called as hobby even. Milky Way on the Northen semisphere and on the South are complet
