I love looking at lighting critically. it's one of my favorite things, and as photographers, we should all be able to do it. That way, if you see a photo you like, you can attempt to do something similar if the need arises.
actually, now that I'm looking at it again, the best place to look is the poles that hold the traffic lights. They seem to have the same kind of lighting as the jets. also, the guy in the Jeep kind of looks like he is checking it out, although that might just be coincidence. Maybe it's real.
oh yeah, it definitely is. look at the sun's position in the bottom part of the photo. Should be over the photographer's left shoulder and either directly overhead or behind him casting light directly on the scene. The planes are backlight from the right and above.
hehe I love shots like this.
