Remark Photographer
As the observant will notice, this engine is not infact running. Simply, the turbines are just blowing in the wind with my shutter open for 8 seconds and thus creating this curious effect.

I found the thumbnail of this photo from the "other great photos of this airline (CX)" without caption and thought the engine was running. What an art!!

I've never seen a jet engine that close before! I too thought it was running before I read the description. I like everything about this! A definite 5 star!

A visitor from United States posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Ah yes! On a SONG flight from KLGA to KMCO in February 2006, we were diverted to Melbourne International Airport in Florida (sorry, I forget the ICAO code) due to severe crosswinds at KMCO. It was a beautiful day though, very few clouds, but with winds gusting to 39 kts. So, as we waited in Melbourne for the winds to die down, (we were the only heavy at this airport) I ventured to the flight deck to chat with the pilots. It was great, sitting at the left seat, eyeing the FMC (CI for the day was 75!). There was a sound outside that sounded like a windmill. "You hear that sound?", Capt. said. "It's the N1 rotor rotating in the wind." Awesome. The wind was so brisk, that the N1 blades were rotating on their own at a vicious speed, just like this lovely photo we're talking about.

A visitor from Germany posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Great picture! Note the Air Canada aircraft with new livery in the background! I thought the engine was running too...

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Bizarre capture!

A visitor from United States posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Very nice effect, im sure it fools everyone:)

A visitor from Canada posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Great composition and eye to leave that shutter open! KA

A visitor from Australia posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Nice.It's so sepcial, i realised the engine was running before i saw the remark

A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Very sharp and good contrasts! I love it. Rick

A visitor from Malaysia posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Seriously i thought it was running at full thrust. but think about it again, how can you be that close when engine is at full thrust.

A visitor from Germany posted Mon April 10, 2006:
What, it's not running????
Very very curious effect...

A visitor from Canada posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Very nice photo ... If it wasn't for the lights in the background (and your hint), I would of thought the engine was running

A visitor from Malta posted Mon April 10, 2006:
I'd say the give away is the fact that there is no trace of jet blast behind the engine. But yes it will fool you at first ;) Great pic

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon April 10, 2006:
I just love the lighting in this photo. Great job!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon April 10, 2006:
What a fantastic photo! Cheers Sean. You can tell that its not running because there isn't any jet blast emanating from the rear.

A visitor from Germany posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Great! i thoght it was running, too. luckily the air canada in the background didn´t move durin the shot! 5 stars!

A visitor from United States posted Mon April 10, 2006:
A most creative photo. Reminds me how I love to get in that narrow passage.

A visitor from Costa Rica posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Great shot! It did have me fooled, if it wasn't for your remark on the shutter speed and the windmilling engine!

A visitor from Finland posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Very nice! It sure does look like it's running.. but if you say so.. :D 5 Stars, I like it!

A visitor from Germany posted Mon April 10, 2006:
Very nice. To be honest. I thought it was really running. Again very nice!!
