Visual Distortion - Close Up
As an aircraft approaches the transonic range, shock waves begin to build up at certain points on the aircraft. These shock waves cause distortion of light waves and a great example of this effect can be seen in this shot, which is a crop from the previous shot in my photostream.
Camera: Canon EOS 50D
Lens: Canon EF 400 f/5.6L
Exposure: 1/640 Second @ f/7.1 ISO100

Enjoy my photos and please feel free to comment. The only thing that I ask is no large, flashy graphics in the comments.
