whoa! awesome dusk shot!!

I havnt been able to get any shots for a while because I had to change my job to 8-5 mon-fri. So I can only see the sky on weekends (when it happens to be raining) !

I also work 8 to 5, mn-fri, and do most photogrpahy on weekends. It's very frustrating in autumn and winter because the days are short and it gets dark after 5 PM. Weather is also usually bad and probability to have clear skies on weekend is not very high.
In summer it's not that bad, usually in the summer evenings conditions are very good for photography.

Here is one pic from last week:

B747-400 F-HLOV; Corsair; CRL8994 VTSP-EKCH

This the usual for me weekly winter season charter flight. But it's very difficult to catch, because in winter season skies are very cloudy and it flies only 2 times per week.

That day high cirrus cloud layer was at around FL360. Planes flying higher were very blurry, but planes flying below were sharp and dark. I love such conditions, as it can produce some different und unsual shots.

10:50 on UN858 airway Air France A318 cruising at FL370, above cirrus layer, blurry and obscured:

10:51 on UN858 airway Air Bridge Cargo B747-400ERF at FL350, below cirrus layer, dark and sharp:

At last I was able to do some spotting today. Sadly nothing was contrailing, and it was showery weather so I couldnt keep the scope outside for long.
