Hello Ike,
One of your specialties in photography is capturing airplanes with perfect sharpness, and you have done it again. I imagine this particular spot is used by many others than just you, since it is obviously a good place to see planes taking off. It also offers a good view of parts of the city, and you know what time of the day the light is the most favourable.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Ike,

You have captured well the take-off of the aircraft. The point of view is showing the details of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner of Air Europa. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Ike,
very interesting picture together with its note.
I never really paid attention to how the planes take off.
This was captured in this very moment which you described.
It is very educational.
Interestingly I also see that the left wheels are already in the air while the right set of wheels is still on the ground...
Great photo!!

Hello Ike,
A great photo of this plane, superb timing right when the aircraft came off the ground. Good sharpness too, it stands out well from the slight haze in the distance.

Bonjour Ike,

Une photo remarquablement bien faite malgré la distance et la clôture à l'avant plan. Juste avant de quitter terre pour une nouvelle destination.

Amicalement

Royaldevon (64434) 2019-11-04 6:45

Ha! Ha! Ike, this is one of your very favourite subjects and you have executed the shot well. It gives us a sharp view of the plane, just beginning to rise, with an interesting view of the city in the b/g.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Ike Very instructive note for the enthusiastic civil aviation aficionados and of course a most-spectacular view of the airplane roaring to leaving the terrestrial attraction, while some passengers hope the engines will not swallow any bird to slow their ardour! Very pleasing view of a 'decisive moment' over the attractive cityscape. Shalom

Twenty seconds later the other wheels where also of the ground.

Perfect depth and perspective image.

Ike, that Air Europa aircraft is going to take off at Ben Gurion apron in Tel Aviv. The heat created by the jet engines forms a blurred part on the photo. Excellent glimpse of the city and construction sites in the bg. Fine colors, good image quality, instructive photo note, regards.

Best regards,

macjake (92637) 2019-11-07 7:28

Hi Ike
another fine capture of the plane taking off in total sharpness and clarity. Thanks for adding that Rotation piece in the note, I didn't know that before. Strange name for it though, as it doesn't really have any specific or obvious relation to taking off the ground...rotation...hmmm... fun shot from this pov. cheers
Craig

Hi Ike
Sensational image of this AirEuropa plane, captured at the same time that it will start taking off, which I think is difficult to achieve.
Very well done. I like very much.
You have a good day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello Ike,

Interesting note, I have no idea about all that, I just love to fly. Recently I flew by flynas - domestic and international low-cost airline based in Saudi Arabia, the country's first budget airlines. You will not see their planes in Israel :).

Kind regards MAlgo
