Remark Photographer
9V-SGC (cn 478) It is very rare that one can get this type of photo. I was on a photography assignment when a huge storm swept into Changi Airport. Normally in these weather conditions it is time to pack up and head home. But when you are on assignment, you have to wait it out. Suddenly out of the pouring rain came SQ22 bound for EWR with the rain bucketing down! I clcked, and here is the result. What a moment! [Nikon D800]

Pilots based in Southeast Asia frequently face horrendous tropical rain, difficult but thrill to take off in this condition.

Amazing picture.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon August 27, 2012:
The photo stands out not just as a good photo in itself, but heavy rain would put off most but the hardiest. Despite atrocious conditions we see a very good study of an airbus lifting off..when most of us would have been running for cover.Great detail despite the conditions.

A visitor from - posted Mon August 27, 2012:
At the best moment, i like the rain effect

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 27, 2012:
My favorite aircraft! Awesome pic!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon August 27, 2012:
Great shot. The rain makes it seem all the more powerful.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Mon August 27, 2012:
This is a beautiful, well composed photograph that through the rain frames the A340 nicely and adds a degree of energy to the picture that would not otherwise be there.

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 26, 2012:
What a moment indeed! It's always nice to see your work pop up on the front page.

A visitor from Canada posted Sun August 26, 2012:
Spectacular, great angle and moment!

Perseverance pays off and this is proof! Beautiful shot.
