A Surreal View
The great timing and angle just makes this shot, and the size of the 747, look quite surreal. The distance to the fence was 145 meters (475ft)
How would you like to be driving near the airport and have this guy takeoff?

WOW....The trees in the center must be growing out of the back of the plane.
Someone needs to go back to Photoshop school.

Dennis, I think that white is dust from the turbulence. I'm a Photoshop pro and don't see any trickery. It's just a massive plane viewed from an
optical illusional-type angle. It is not nearly as close to the fence as it seems from that angle. I'm sure from other angles it would not photograph
so dramatic.

Amazing shot. Glad I was not there at that fence with the other plane-spotters. Too loud for my liking and the fumes! We have an airshow this weekend
in town. Reason for me to go out of town.

OK...I'll stand corrected, but here's what he gets for flying so low and recklessly:

Yes, it's the vapor trail, no Photoshop.
