Here's a photo I took at ZRH last weekend. They've really optimised the time between successive departures

Surely not a trick of the camera??

Imagine how many we could get into LHR with separation like that

Great image Toby

My question is, did you use a tripod for the two shots or did you shoot from the hip.
btw

No tripod needed, it's just two successive shots stitched together, the join is in the "w" of Germanwings.
Joe - has the EXIF information been preserved even after so many resaves?! Yes it was 17:45ish last Sunday, another few weeks and it'll be dark by 5pm. Unlike the UK, it'll never be getting dark as early as 4pm I don't think.

uh 17:45 and three seconds according to the camera
Using an iso setting of 250 and following the old rule of thumb "f8 and be there"

....the shutter was set at 1/320 for proper exposure,
and the focal length was at 210mm
You used Paintshop Photo Pro 13 on 10-14-11 at 23:13:56
Well done ... creative shooting can be very

hit and miss.... you nailed it pretty good ... imho

the EXIF version is 0221
