Night-time Flight Line - a photo on Flickriver

Night-time Flight Line

            A night time long exposure of 2 American CH-47 Chinook helicopters sitting on the flight line, moments before wheels up.

An image that would feel fairly common to some people, might feel extraordinary to others. This image was captured during a previous career and is one that was fairly commonplace to me during that time. I have long wanted to publish some of the images I captured during this time but various reasons have stopped that. I love a night time long exposure shot and this one always brings back memories.

Image captured using a Nikon D700 with the Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8 lens at 80mm, 30 second exposure @f2.8, ISO100. Processed from a Nikon RAW file using Adobe Lightroom 6.12, Google’s Nik Collection Viveza 2 and Color Efex Pro 4.
