Boeing 757-200 (N193AN)

Great photo, like the way the wings show the effects of the lifting forces. However, I wonder if this is a departure from KSAN (San Diego) rather than KLAX?

Thanks David, glad you like the photo! This is a LAX departure. Haven't had the chance to spot in SAN yet.

Definitely KLAX. That is El Segundo High School at the top of the photo. The left wing is over Pepper Street, looking South. Love to know how exactly it was taken.

Helicopter and a long lens CarlJodie… that would be my guess. You can get helicopter flights over LAX from a nearby helicopter tour company (name escapes me right now) 24 hours notice to air traffic control and a spare $500 and you're good to go. I'm hoping to do same this summer!

That would make it a quite rare departure over land instead of the usual departures over the Pacific.

The departure was indeed over the Pacific. It had not yet cleared the runway. El Segundo borders LAX to the South. I was hoping HAKLS would give more details of the photo. Platform, altitude, camera, lens, etc
