Cleared for Takeoff

Just for a change from Bosque. When I was at Ridgefield on the 16th, there were quite a few (by Ridgefield standards) in a field not too far from the road. I had just a taken a couple of shots of three groups of 4 or 5 each that formed a nice pattern, when all of them started taking off at once straight at me. This was 9 frames into the take-off with the 1Div (one second or less from a standing start). The two outer groups were mostly out of the frame with just some partial cranes still in it, so I cropped down to just the wingtips to imply their presence, while still letting me emphasize the center group.

Title modified by my wife on December 23rd.

1Div, 500mm f4 ISL + 1.4TC, beanbag on truck window, f7.1, 1/500, Av mode with no compensation, iso 1250. Processed in CS6 and cropped to 6.2MP. Taken December 16th at 9:34 am of a foggy morning.

Your comments and criticisms are most welcome.

Thanks for looking,
