LETTER OF THE WEEK
Moon flight
I greatly enjoyed the brilliant photo of the plane next to the moon by Lee Clark in your recent issue (It’s good to share, AP 9 January), and I thought I would share my own shot from April of a British Airways airplane transecting the moon.
Like Lee’s, my photo was a bit of a coincidence. I had just returned home from photographing some local wildlife, and with a clear sky I looked up and saw a fabulous almost full moon with an easyJet plane passing just by it – but I couldn’t get the camera out of my bag in time to take the shot.
A bit gutted, I decided to take a shot of the moon anyway. I’m so glad I did because I saw a tiny speck approaching the moon. Max zoom engaged (thank goodness for my 200-600mm lens!), I fired a burst of shots and caught the plane approaching and then passing the moon. Seconds later, and I would have missed it. One shot off the bucket list!
A great capture, Mark, and a reminder to always keep trying.
Win!
