Hi Andre, I've flown worse than Air Canada, but then I've never flown Singapore, but have heard lots about their reputation. In any case, I can't help you out with the ID and I agree, that's not what counts, it's the shot, and its good. I like this composition, with the in your face angled shot, the fuselage ties in very nicely with that great sky. Very nice colours.

And something I've noticed recently on some airlines is that they are starting to identify themselves to people on the ground. Air Emirates and Jetsco are both placing their logos on the bottom of the fuselage, rather than forcing us to try to look at their tail.

Update: oh wow, I just had a look at your workshop, I hadn't seen the new Air Canada colours yet. Yech!

Thanks, John

Aviation pics are so infrequent on TE. I've tried a few in my gallery, but they don't generate much interest for some reason.

Air Canada don't operate any single-aisle Boeing aicraft at present (they are all widebodies) so this would be either an Airbus A319/A320/A321 - can't tell from this angle.

Wow, I would never take a picture like this. The plane was to low for my liking. Due to my professional situation I have to fly in a regular basis but let me tell you something, I do not like it and I am starting feeling tired of flying. From my limited knowledge of aircraft the one on WS must be an Airbus something, because of the tips of the wings.
Both photos are excellent and I must say the main post is impressive and also frightening.

Hi Andre,
Very dynamic looking from this angle and tilt. Toned B&W works well. Those lighs are good extra details, you rarely notice them.
I've never experienced bad service on air (except tasteless food and such of course). Not even on low cost airlines. I mean I rather pay for tasty food than free but dry bread roll. But I've never used Air Canada. Canadian once before their collapse.
(Looking at the WS, it's Airbus A319.)

salut andre,
what a creative idea to desaturate the flying monster stripping it from any "humanity" and converting it into soulless, cold, unfriendly yet reliable, strong dragon...
i do like this image...
best wishes,
j.

very nice. The angle of the aeroplane gives off a lot of action!

So that's what you do on your days off! Sit on the runway and take undercarriages of passing planes. Is Air Canada worse than Iberia? You have to beg on bended knees for a drink of water. As for anything to eat! - one meal on a 12 hour flight!
Did you read about our National embarrassment at Heathrow's new T5?

lol, andre, that's some harsh stuff in your note... i confer with henk here: the only time i flew air canada they gave me excellent service. kind and courteous... and the food was good too. but then again - that was 8 years ago... things might have changed since. anyway, i like your foto. you definitely managed to express your mood in the capture... a scary pic... :)

regards,

Bonjour André
Je vois que tu ajoutes une nouvelle corde à ton arc, ceci en guise de préparation pour la prochaine étape.....eh oui.On commence par de gros oiseaux difficile à manquer pour graduer vers les plus petits, ceux qui n'attendent pas que l'on soit prêt, qui se placent dans l'ombre plutôt que sur la partie adjacente de la branche qui est à la lumière, ou qui tout simplement se place dos à toi.....
J'aime le rendu de tes deux photos, surtout le ciel qui était ton allié en cette fin de journée et donne un beau décor d'arrière-plan.Celle-ci me donne la chair de poule et le gout de m'enfuir pour ne pas le recevoir sur la tête.

Bon dimanche
Charles

Salut André,
Une bien belle image de cet avion, j'aime beaucoup l'aspect monochromatique de l'image, bien vu.
Ton cadrage est osé, mais ça passe bien d'avoir coupé les ailes.
Outre ces aspects artistiques, quand un post est prétexte à de tels débats concernant les compagnies aériennes, il est indispensable !
Bonne journée,
JB.

salut andré
t'es pas un peu ... j'ai failli être sourd avec ce pu.. d'avion quand j'ai ouvert la vignette un bruit infernal,
comme dit jy ,prend une autre cie, moi c'était air littoral affrété par air air liberté avec une cie tcheque avec des hotesses anglaises et qui attérri a agades pour repartir sur sebbah aprés avoir fait un dérapage controle dans le sable car dans le désert il ne balaie pas la piste, alors faut pas se plaindre des canadiens tout compte fait
cela dit la désaturation est du plus bel effet
amitiés

bonjour ANDRE.
belle prise de vue avec un bon recadrage afin de donné un TILT a l'avion!
amitiés ensoleillés....aldo.

Hi André,
fantastico this shot, I´d like of the diagonal POV and monochromatic colors of image. This is a Airbus A320 family member.
Congratulations and hug!

Hi Andre,
Nice fast capture, and frame, I suppose you used the multiple capture feature and this one here is the best among the other shots.
Interesting "green" tones applied creating feeling.

Oh btw, I enjoyed the conversation between you and Henk about the Canadian air lines however its not the best way to attract people to travel to Canada by plane, haha!

Many Regards my friend
Stelios

It is an extraordinary shot, Andre.
Your PoV is just great, probably chosen with great care.
I love the metalic colors.
Well done!
