A Continental 767-424ER Take Off

[Fly2e]

The tower clears us for take off.




As I pull back on the stick, the huge jet gently rotates skyward.




A shot from the tower.




Starting to leave earth's gravitaional grip!



Now that's a strong crosswind!!




Thanks for flying Continental Airlines!!

very nice again Dave! but the quality isn't like we know you. what happened? of course they are good, but when i compare them to your other ones, these aren't so clear...no offense of course  ;)

[Fly2e]

No offense ever taken. I know what you mean. When I was trying to keep them under 100kb, they started to look,ehh.....not so good.
The third one was the only one that came out decent. I don't even know where the last picture went!  ::)

Oh well.....
The originals were so huge that even in photoshop's lowest "save" setting, I was only just making it under the 100kb rule. Really "ate away" at the pictures!  >:(  

Thanks!

Very cool picks.  I like how the landing light glows even during the day.  Giving the impression there is a bit of moisture in the air.

OK, I found out what happened.
When I was resizing in photoshop down to 800 wide, it was saving the JPG with the sharpening effect turned on.!  :P  Thus making some of the shots grainy!! Really noticable in the last 2 shots.
I think this also happened on the "KLM Departure" pictures!  :P

Oh, well!

Won't do that again!!
