Photographer Spends 2 Years Taking These 10 Unbelievable Photos Of Planes Around The World

Although the pictures of planes taking off a runway are still pretty impressive, but they are nowhere even close to what we you are about to witness. Behold, the sight of hundreds of planes leaving the runway simultaneously!

No this was not part of a air show, but it is the result of hard work and creativity of Mike Kelley, an LA-based architectural photographer who took these astounding pictures of planes departing the tarmac over the course of two years. Afterwards, he compiled and superposed the images to create these breathtaking Airpotraits.

He writes on his blog, “From some locations I had thousands of pictures that needed to be culled, color corrected, extracted, and composited. It was absolutely one of the most challenging projects I’ve worked on.”
