About this work
Composite image showing multiple stages of a Monarch Airbus A320 aircraft taking off from the Gibraltar Airport (GIB/LXGB). Also visible in the centre is Winston Churchill Avenue crossing the runway, the only street joining Gibraltar to the Spanish mainland. The camera viewpoint is from a terrace below the entrance to the Great Siege Tunnels on the North face of the Rock of Gibraltar about 70 m above sea level. The composite image covers view of approximately 135°, ranging from almost due West at the left edge of the image to Northeast at the right edge. The image was created by digitally combining 5 consecutive exposures taken over the course of 91 seconds starting at 18:22:47 local time. The original images were taken free hand with a Sony DSC-R1 at ISO 160 and a shutter speed of 1/250.
