I’ve long wanted to capture an aircraft that is traversing the moon, but have not taken the time (or patience) to plan for that photo.  But the other night when I was walking into the house, I watched an aircraft nearly pass in front of the moon.  The resulting photo is not my best image of an airplane or of the moon, but I find the motion blur to add to the image.

 

   

 

Leaving at the end of a trip is always sad and happy; I’m typically glad to head back to my home and my routine, but sad to leave the destination and certain that I would love to spend a day or two more there!  The photo walk in Chinatown was hot and humid, but I was sad the day was over and that we were headed home.

I’ve heard many people say the right place and the right time are essential for a photograph, but I would argue that the right mindset is also essential. As Sarah and I were standing in the lobby of The Hemmens in Elgin, I was watching the reflections and refractions on the windows and walls. And while my mind wandered, this distant aircraft caught my eye as it traced its way through each window pane.

I remember the first time that I experienced the “Sneak Pass”; we lived in Pensacola at the time, and the Blue Angels were flying their end-of-the-season show. The Diamond formation flies off to one side, and while you’re looking over to the left and the right, one of the Solos sneaks up behind the crowd. Even today, knowing that its going to happen, it’s still impressive!

2022’s Chicago Air Show was rainy and humid, and Sarah and I got absolutely soaked by rain before the show. However, that did lead to some very cool vapor trails photos!
