Kiss the Moon

[stardust steve (Steve)]

Ever wanted to kiss the Moon? Well i just captured this Virgin Airline bound for Sydney doing just that. Taken about 15mins ago. AND the best bit, the very next flight, i got another. Creating quite a collection now
will post the following capture soon

Cheers Laurie I am quite happy i got 2 from 2. Just about to get the other off the memory card now.
Patience certainly pays off

Great work! Was it taken in video or stills mode?

Hi, thanks. This is high res still mode captured in RAW through my 500D-SWED 80 PRO- EQ3.
Manually fired shutter...still have not managed to get myself a remote shutter controller

Great timing.

Mine is a story of the one that got away. While shooting the partial eclipse from the Redcliffe waterfront a jet flew in front of the eclipsed solar disk.

Missed the shot by a couple of seconds.

At least I got to see it visually.

Thanks for looking
