 Wow, thanks everyone.

This was hand-held.

The inspiration for this was taken the week before the challenge.


@Lev - no flash

The dark triangle in the foreground (on the ground, not the wing) is the Los Altos Golf Course - also prominent in my other image.

I try to avoid flying now, but when I do I try to take a lot of pictures, though almost always in the daytime. If I fly at night I'm sure going to try this. Did you have the lens against the glass to keep it so steady for the long exposure?
