Here's a photo I took at ZRH last weekend. They've really optimised the time between successive departures :lol:

No tripod needed, it's just two successive shots stitched together, the join is in the "w" of Germanwings.

Joe - has the EXIF information been preserved even after so many resaves?! Yes it was 17:45ish last Sunday, another few weeks and it'll be dark by 5pm. Unlike the UK, it'll never be getting dark as early as 4pm I don't think.

uh 17:45 and three seconds according to the camera :lol:

Using an iso setting of 250 and following the old rule of thumb "f8 and be there" B)smk ....the shutter was set at 1/320 for proper exposure,
and the focal length was at 210mm
:wasntme:

You used Paintshop Photo Pro 13 on 10-14-11 at 23:13:56


Well done ... creative shooting can be very *-) hit and miss.... you nailed it pretty good ... imho :hide:

the EXIF version is 0221 ;)
