I've been waiting for the longest day of the year this year for a specific reason- to catch British Airways Flight 69. PHL sees 2 daily Speedbirds, a 777 that arrives around 3:30 and Flight 69, which is usually a 767. I don't have any BA 76's, so given that yesterday was technically the longest day of the year I ventured out to catch it.
I started shooting around 7:30 to get that nice yellow 'tint' we are all so fond of
With sunset at 8:32 and an arrival time of 8:35, there isn't much light to speak of. I ramped up the ISO as high as I was comfortable with, 800, and kept aperture at f/8. The camera chose a shutter of 1/100 which explains the blur to the moon. I smoothed out the grain as much as possible without destroying the details. And voila
And now we begin the slow march towards Winter's darkness
