I just don't see how this is possible. I imagine the only way to get a shot like this is if the IL-76 just suddenly stopped and hovered.

2nd curtain flash is all you need.
It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

How large a flash do you need for that?

The distance does not look too far, I'm sure you don't need anything huge. just something to spread the light. You could probably do it will your speedlight.Originally Posted by moose135
I've seen this type of shot done many times.

they're no more than 200' AGL over the approach lights at the beginning of the system...probably closer to 100' being that they're already half way down the lighting system so they're very close.
Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
580EX would do the trick.
'rear curtain' flash with an SB900 or 910(in Nikonian) should do the trick- seems doable to me
Wow, impressive image! I was guessing second curtain flash, guess I was right. I wish the EXIF was intact.
Makes me want to try it, just need a good location....

Very easy to do actually but does require planning and trial :-) As said before, rear curtain mode on your flash/camera.

Pretty cool effect!
So it's a bulb shutter release and a flash triggered just as the shutter closes?
@ychocky...it's the rear curtain sync...your camera can either set the flash off immediately as the reflex mirror/shutter opens, or after...it's effect is more pronounced on longer exposures. I'd imagine you could do a bulb exposure and get a similar effect by setting off a strobe manually and allowing hte light trails to go through the airplane...the airplane being frozen wherever the strobe is set off

Epicness.

It's disgusting how good that crazy shot is. If I took that I'd make several 20" by 30" enlargements and hang one in each room of my apartment
Yep it's in my top 3 of aviation pics it's pretty insane.

The first image is not a single shot...I think it was video and they used one still for the main image and the rest were for light trails.... everyone talking about lighting the aircraft, the 747 is lit, the Russian bird is dark and would be blurred. hmmmm
The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
