Three moments from yesterdays sunset at Blackhead, Gerroa.

I was intrigued by an enormous amount of intricate fine structure in the contrails themselves and the layer of thin high-altitude haze onto which the contrails are actually casting a shadow.

 

A challenge for an imaging sensor, and I think typically a situation where a CCD sensor (as opposed to CMOS) might do a bit better, extracting just that decisive little bit more of contrast and fine colour gradations.

I set myself a challenge to take some interesting images on my doorstep, well within a 15 mins walk of my house.

 

This image is simple as they come, but it works for me. I rotated the image in post so the contrail is exactly 45 degrees. The aircraft is placed on the rule of thirds.

In Kansas we had a rash of sundogs over about 10 days. I do not recall so many in such a short time. I would have to count but I seldom get more chances than once or twice a year. Earlier this year I photographed a sun "halo". Perhaps the clouds are changing. I cannot help but think so many contrails add something to the high altitude atmosphere.

Early morning light gave this jet a pink contrail.

A nifty contrail pattern from today's west Georgia sky. The framing of trees called out for a photo.

Contrail at Sunrise - IMG_4284

Jets are back in numbers after lockdown. This contrail come from a transatlantic flight from the US to Europe. The contrail which dropped from over 20000 feet to a few hundred feet is background for a Kite hunting for prey.

It was fun to follow the advancement of the contrail in the sky as the distorted reflection raced (obviously) at the same speed on a trajectory to meet the sky contrail......

I saw this contrail in the evening sky.

Aircraft contrails leading to the west over Merthyr.

A lot of contrails made up the majority of this sunset, made possible in a regime of more upper air moisture coming off the Pacific Ocean.

A brilliantly sunny, cold winter day:)

Contrails at sunrise over Laratinga Wetlands, South Australia.

The two cloud formations on the right may also have been contrails earlier on in the morning and have since dispersed.

Contrails and trees, Swaledale, 1 Nov 2016

Cheyenne, Wyoming is pretty much the center of the cross-country flyovers. As a result, contrails can rule of skies when the temperatures at flight level are exceptionally cold as was the case this particular morning.

 

Sometimes, contrails can be the source of cirrus clouds as suggested in this image.

  

29/06/2015; Had a feeling when I was still at home that the sunset could become nice this evening. My feeling wasn't wrong there. :)

Took this just as the sun set in Windsor Great Park.

 

Seen from Hitter Hill near Earl Sterndale.

Apparently, vapour trails left by aircraft now have a latin name, Cirrus homogenitus contrails, and recognition in the cloud atlas - here they are over Crummock water - all the clouds here are thus formed in various stages of dispersion.

Overflying Fortaleza, Brazil

I don't post my contrail shots because the quality is not really the best, but this one managed to be uploaded! Here's a TAP A340 flying from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro as TAP 73.

 

Seen here over Fortaleza, cruising at FL380. I wish I had a lens with more zoom range, to bring it even closer! Or even better: a superzoom camera! :)

imagine what this picture would have been like if i ever got around to practicing with the BGC?

Airbus A380 contrail producing its shadow....only lasted a few seconds

Being located right on the flight route between the Middle East & Asia and London Heathrow, the sky above the Westernscheldt is usually crisscrossed by countless contrails at sunrise. Not so this year; these were actually the first and only ones I had seen in a long time ... ;-((

Omdat het precies op de vliegroute tussen het Midden-Oosten & Azië en Londen-Heathrow ligt, wordt de lucht boven de Westerschelde bij zonsopgang meestal doorkruist door talloze contrails. Dit jaar niet zo; dit waren eigenlijk de eerste en enige die ik in lange tijd had gezien

Lots of contrails made it a really interesting sunset today.
