Nothing comes close to a 747 coming directly in your direction just a few hundred feet below you! This was really amazing. It's a real air-to-air picture, no discussions please!

...kinda like that...
Nick. ^_^
im still dizzy from looking at at it!!
It looks like it´s climbing vertical, only the signs on the runway tells you the right angle.

has gained altitude.
It must have been an amazing sight and
experience to be there.

proximity to the aircraft from which this photograph was taken????
Is that B747 or Space shuttle.....awesome shot
-Doctored up or not, this is outstanding. Great timing too, the capture of the gear transition is perfect, and you gotta love the wing flex from a high gross weight take-off. This shot just exudes power!
ALejandro
how did you that?
its amazing
still a very good shot!
would pay for being there. congratulations!!!!
what this picture is made, you must say that it is
really impresive.
Don't forget a KAMIKAZE spirit.
Hey Daniel, something what interests me is how far was the distance between you and the 747?
Oh, almost forgotten, unquestionable 5/5!
very good !!
the pilots of the plane had did a thing i don`t now this 747 could!
morton
The plane is not going vertical -- it is simply a normal climb, captured with a really long lens. Consider what you are really seeing in the background. That is at least 800 feet of runway in view (thank you Google Maps and satellite view). But yet the lines seem to be very close together. This was shot with a very long lens from out over the ocean -- probably close to 1.5 to 2 miles from the lift off point. Neither the plane nor the photog were in any danger or doing anything out of the ordinary -- the camera just shows what we all take for granted -- some serious forces at work to lift this beast off the ground.
Wonderful shot!
Iwonder how to make such a picture
The BEST!!!!

Any doubt this plane is fully loaded with passengers and fuel? ;)
Nice!
;)
this is really one of the most beautiful of this website.
you're my hero

Very rare and lucky shot
The picture of the century
The power of 747
Really no words needed but I just could not keep silence!
Am wondering how this was captured ...
Cracking angle.
It has everything!
It`s incmmensurable to all i`ve seen before.
Great shot!
There's a little VFR corridor along the coastline over LAX. Private planes fly through the corridor to avoid entering the class B airspace around the airport. The corridor passes over the runways allowing for shots like this. I've had a couple very similar shots, though not with the 747.
i like the landing gear
Probably the most stunning photo in airliners.net! congratulations!
10 stars!!!!!!!!!
you're lucky enough to have the chance to see this live
How did you manage to take this shot?
a. Air to Air takeoff photograpgy.
b. Picture is so well composed (Flight & the runway,Great)
c.very unsual ,very special photo too.
d.Timing is so well,even you can see wheels folding & blur background just behind the engines i.e. fuel burning etc..
"Move out of the way!!! We are going to crash into you unless you move!!!"
LOL
