Aircraft passing the moon

[ies photos]

The moon was huge over London tonight. As I live under the Heathrow flight path I waited for aircraft to pass the moon.

Just lost touch with her, I joined the RAF and moved away 9 years ago and haven't spoke since.


Just posted on thread, cheers.

[Lumpy8]

Wow, what patience you must of had.

[LandonSS]

Sir those are awesome, I like the one with the vapor trails. Good shots

For those interested in knowing where Sun/Moon Rise/Set will occur in relation to known locations (like airport approach corridors) I suggest you download the Photographer's Ephemeris (http://stephentrainor.com/tools).

The ability to overlay Azimuths on a map (esspecially a Topo Map) is very handy.

Very nice, enough to make E.T. jealous!

[firesuite]

Pretty much what everyone else said, good effort!

Those are lovely, the high contrast really helps. Here is my best:

Not really patience as such, the planes fly pretty much the same route into Heathrow past my window so just had to wait for the two to cross, doesn't happen that often I have to say!

Not bad for a beginner, Ian. Once you learn what you're doing you'll be alright at this!

Nah, superb images. I've just had a browse of your Flickr as well, some pretty stunning images in there! :)
