Sun Set at 37k Feet

Sun Set at 37k Feet · 07:55 AM

Was on a recent buisness trip and took this shot over California (somewhere). We were at our cruisng altitude taken with the only lens I brought the 18-250. The Sun was slowly dipping below the clouds.

Damn, no motion blur at over 500mph...

Very nice image Dave! That is a sweet sunset!

Horizon tilt makes the shot ticks! The colour is great!

Thanks Marc - haha yeah pretty steady at that speed eh

On the other side of the plane the moon looked cool, however I could not get a slow enough shutter speed with hand held and turbulence to make any pictures post worthy.

Thanks roentarre - the 18-250 does pretty well for such a wide range.
