Description
After a good storm, my camera is usually at the ready. There's a window of approximately sixty minutes in which the combination of freshly fallen rain and the bright sun can create the most spectacular conditions to play with. The water is a dynamic medium in more ways than one, and the dark sky can contrast the plane in ways that make it jump out at the viewer. Some of the most memorable photos I have ever taken were shot during this one-hour window. I literally can't hit the shutter button fast enough.
Such was the case when I caught this Alaska Airlines 737, which in itself is a treat as it sports the unique "We're All Pulling Together" livery. With a small bounce, the plane has kicked up a spray of water from the runway' slick surface, which is nicely illuminated in the sunlight. That same combination and the angle makes the Boeing seem to shimmer from wingtip to wingtip, enhanced by the angry clouds of the storm that has moved on.
