I camped out in the old tower at LAX for 8 hours and photographed every departure...
And then composited it all together into one scene, showing how LAX changes from daytime into nighttime:


Edit:

Thanks for all the kind words, guys, I am really happy to hear how much you like it! I wasn't expecting such a response compared to my other piece:

For those interested in prints I am happy to say that I do sell them, however they are a bit pricey, but at full-resolution and in person they are just stunningly gorgeous, printed by hand on archival museum-quality paper. My aviation prints can be seen here:
