Watching a plane fly overheard while standing on a bridge over the river Aar, Bern.

This is one of those shots that you think “got it!” just as you press the shutter. While we were crossing a bridge over the Aar river, I heard the plane, looked up and managed to compose exactly the shot I wanted with just enough time for the plane to be pretty much where I wanted it. It’s great when a plan comes together.

I didn’t think I’d process this shot in this way, but I really like the effect. The lamp has an old style to it, and the bricks are a bit crusty; the colouring I think works nicely too. The plane could be (but isn’t) a DC-8 or plane from a similar time.
