DescriptionGibraltar Airport panorama.jpg
Deutsch: Computergeneriertes Panoramabild, das verschieden Phasen des Starts eines Airbus A320 von Monarch Airlines auf dem Flughafen von Gibraltar zeigt. Das Bild wurde aus 5 Aufnahmen zusammengesetzt, die von 18:22:47 Uhr Ortszeit an über einen Zeitraum von 91 Sekunden aufgenommen wurden. Das Panorama wurde von einem Aussichtspunkt unterhalb des Eingangs zu den Great Siege Tunnels rund 70 m über dem Meeresspiegel aufgenommen und zeigt einen Blickwinkel von 135° der von westlicher Richtung am linken Bildrand bis nordöstlicher Richtung am rechten Bildrand reicht.

Also visible in the centre is Winston Churchill Avenue crossing the runway, the only street joining Gibraltar to the Spanish mainland. The camera viewpoint is from a terrace below the entrance to the Great Siege Tunnels on the North face of the Rock of Gibraltar about 70 m above sea level. The composite image covers view of approximately 135°, ranging from almost due West at the left edge of the image to Northeast at the right edge. The image was created by digitally combining 5 consecutive exposures taken over the course of 91 seconds starting at 18:22:47 local time. The original images were taken free hand with a Sony DSC-R1 at ISO 160 and a shutter speed of 1/250.
