We were level at 41,000 feet while over Pittsburgh. I grabbed the Canon 20D and snapped the picture. Venus is rising in the eastern sky as well. I have reduced the size so it is a smaller download.

Yes, it was hand held on no flah auto mode. I guess being the Captain has its privileges.

Thanks for the comments folks...I appreciate them.

Great shot! How did you do that? Everytime I try a low light/night shot from an airplane the lights on the ground get all blurred or the high ISO makes the photo ugly with noise. What were your settings? What ISO did you use?


That's really clear too. This cold weather makes for great photo ops. It's cloudy almost everyday in PIT.

Keep shooting!!

Well, I don't mess with settings when flying. I just set it to automatic and let it fly. They generally come out well. At 41,000 the ground is not moving that fast in relative motion so not a lot of blur.

Thanks again for all the comments folks.
