This photo was taken on Maho beach, St Martin, Carribean, during a family holiday.
if I tell you that this picture was taken with a 17mm focal length lens, on a full frame DSLR (Canon 5D), you'll maybe appreciate how low this plane was! Just after this photo was taken, as the aircraft had passed over me to land on the runway (which backs onto the beach), I had to grab my camera and tripod to prevent them from being blown into the sea!
In fact I saw one lad actually blown off his feet, rolled down the beach and into the sea by the jetwash from a 747 that was spooling up ready for take off at the end of the runway. Who says holiday snaps are boring!
