LAX sightings

“I’ve loved aviation my whole life,” says Robert Gluckman. Now an aerial camera operator for a news helicopter, he spends a lot of his time “in the air looking down.”
Last year, Gluckman shot this photo of an Air China 777-300 jetliner in a familiar spot-- one he says he sees every time he flies over Los Angeles International Airport.
“There were a lot of obstructions in the way of that shot. It was pretty difficult,” he said. “But soon I will have the opportunity to get inside the airport and take some amazing stills.”
The image was made with a Canon 5D and 300mm f/2.8 II lens and later edited with Lightroom. For more aerial views from Gluckman follow him @robgluckman_photography.
