Look, up in the sky!



8:30 on last Saturday night. Not a cloud in the sky. As day ended, a lone jet provided the only vapor for the setting sun to illuminate. Canon 5D with 24-105 f4 IS. 1/100s f/7.1 ISO 1600 @32mm

Nice catch, Tom!

I like the way the vapor trail is anchored by the dark buildings on the bottom. It reminds me of an analog gauge with the vapor trail as the needle. I also like how you caught the subtle sunset color on the trail. It's a very simple yet striking photo.

I see just a bit of digital noise in the sky, but it's not enough to be obtrusive.

Thanks for posting.

Cool picture. If you do a little Photoshop, you can put an explosion just behind the silhouette of the house and it can look like a promo for a movie.

Looks a little like a sci-fi type photo. Looks like a laser shooting up into the night sky. Cool.

Okay, I'm dating myself here, but I just flashed on the old Atari video game: Missile Command, while viewing this picture again.

I will never admit I played Missle Command - Space Invaders maybe but not Missle Command.

This just reminds me of that movie Independance Day. My vote is for the Atari 2600 since I had one also.
