I've seen a couple of shots of planes across the moon, but this is by far the best by a long way. Fantastic scale and detail! So well done! I reckon most would be flukes, but you set this up intentionally! Kudos!

This is now IOTW.

Fantastic shot! No luck involved - plenty of preparation and practise paid off!

Congratulations on the IOTW mate! It's truly a unique and awesome shot.

Hope my comment about "flukes" wasn't misinterpreted. I was in no way saying yours was luck. In fact, I said the opposite. Yours was intentional and it paid off!

Oh, and I'd definitely send it in to APOD! Gotta give that a go!

re moon shot

WOW!IOTW!

Thanks everyone for the comments.Yes-lots of Planning and Preparation.

The plane follows the same direction every day-in a similar portion of the sky,I have seen it cross the moon 5 or 6 times over a few years,so I knew what I was doing was achievable.

I have noted the moon phase always one day after first quarter to four days after first quarter.

The hardest thing-was pulling that trigger! for real!,Yes Marc,only one shot-reason,I felt most comfortable with the trigger with one shot-and I just had to go by feel and to go by what I could see was going to look the best.

The other reason is the 450D is slow in quick shot mode,I was in RAW as well as JPEG,and I did not want the plane to be 'poking its nose out' from moon,or tail 'sticking' out.So one shot,I felt most comfortable with.so that's what I went for-yes-very game!

I have a 50D so may be next attempt might give it a go,but will do some dry runs first.Even then I am not sure if I will take quick burst of shots.for the above reasons.

Anyhow-adds to the 'thrill of the chase'-like a 007 movie "You only have one shot Mr Bond"

And you didn't leave the focussing mask on

The lighter one showing the lovely red on the tail is great! Against the blue sky - I like!

IOTW - congrats Chris!

Absolutely Stunning!!!

Waiting for that exact split second the old heart must have been pounding in your ears, pulse racing, stomach churning, and sphincter muscles jammed tight.

I can only imagine the feeling of exhilaration when you knew you got it

An extremely wonderful piece of work

That's what flying's all about

Fantastic shot. Great advertising potential for QF and Bombardier? Makes me want to strap in and take-off. Puts the romance back into flying.

...the props seem to be in sync...
