Flying Super Moon
UPDATE: It's now an NFT on OpenSea! Check it out: opensea.io/assets/matic/0x2953399124f0cbb46d2cbacd8a89cf0...
UPDATE: I posted a video sequence here: www.flickr.com/photos/themunkyhouse/5548313371/
I was at Seattle Center trying to get a Super Moon shot with the Space Needle, but noticed the planes flying into SeaTac were flying near the moon around 10 p.m. last night. I waited a while for the moon to rise into the planes' pattern, and ripped off as many shots as I could before my batteries died. :) Frankly, it was dumb luck to capture the plane RIGHT in the center. Slight variations in the altitude, and the moon's changing position meant many shots had the plane just above or below. I'm also lucky that it was (I think) a 737. A larger plane wouldn't have been a full silhouette in the moon. A memorable Super Moon for me.
