Well - it IS a Fast Jet - did anyone had to say it should be moving?!? :unsure:

I like this picture - mainly due to the efforts involved to obtain it!

This shot was a bit of a challenge - for the following reasons...

Technically I was not allowed to take the photograph due to it's location in the Gulf region - but fortunately (or stupidly) a sense of 'he who dares' ....prevailed.

It involved the use of a car (to hide my presence behind the glare of the headlights) :ninja:

I had no tripod available - so I had to switch off an air-conditioning unit outside my tent and make use of that and a little packing of sand and stones beneath the camera to level things up.

Only took two shots - both guessed - the first with an 8 second exposure - which was way too over exposed :Oops: - and this on a 4 second exposure.

Finally - Not much time to shoot due to frequent security patrols by the Feds! :whistle:
