Low side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from left to right at a low altitude, with undercarriage already tucked away, flaps extended from the rear of the wings, and the nose raised sharply, suggesting it has just taken off.

Side view of a single engined, high-winged light aircraft parked facing to the right. The plane is white, with an orange and grey stripe running along the body from the propellor, sweeping up the top just behind the cockpit. The grey registration "G-CIRW" is on the rear fuselage. Black tarmac apron fills most of the oreground, with a patch of grass in the bottom right corner, directly in front of the plane. A pair of old grey hangars dominate the background, the nearest one with it's doors wide open, giving a hint of it's inhabitants. Blue sky with fluffs of white cloud fills the rest of the frame.

Photo taken on my Samsung A55S - occasionally, it makes at least as much sense to use that as a big DSLR.
