Sky Watch Friday # 3

¤


Condensation trail left behind jet aircrafts. (Called Contrails)
Contrails form when hot humid air from jet exhaust mixes with environmental air of low vapor pressure and low temperature.

  3. Wonderful photos, john! I love them all!

    Nydelige bilder fra deg i dag og! Jeg bare elsker slike himler. Springer for livet med kameraet og knipser vilt når jetflyene suser over hodet på meg. Hi hi hi. Dere skulle ha sett meg da;) Gu så skøy det er å være gal:)

    Ha en hærlig SWF-dag:)

  4. Well done... I thought about this last week but I went with the clouds that formed.. great set of pictures and shows just how easy or how hard a sky watch picture can be.

    Thank you

  7. I'm not very found of travelling by plane, but I do consider that plane trails on the sky always give us the chance of taking great photos.
    Just like you did here.

  41. Nydelige bilder, og for et morsomt mønster. Får nå virkelig ikke håpe at de stripene på himmelen ble laget på noe samme tid :-)

    Føltes befriende å skrive litt norsk igjen på denne kvald. Kunne ikke la vær.

    Fin helg til deg

  44. Dette ser jo nesten litt skummelt ut. Håper at det ikke var nære på for enkelte fly som boltret seg på himmelen din. Forhåpentligvis så var det bare et fly med en flyger som slo seg litt løs i svingene.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I'll come here more, this is a place for relax!
    I have thousands of pics in my foulders too, now I start to think I should share them like you did. The music is matching, all is great...You gave me a kick!

    ReplyDelete
  46. John, beautiful shots! Thanks for explaining what contrails are! :D

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wonderful clear sky and such bright colours :-)

    ReplyDelete
  48. I like it when there's condensation in the sky...it's like someone's writing in them.

    ReplyDelete
  49. what a great collection! There are so many of them in that first picture!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Those pictures are pretty cool. Looks like the jets were dancing in the sky.

    ReplyDelete
  51. It looks like planes were playing in the air.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Great images - especially the B&W taken by your mom.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Blimey busy air space! It's like you caught the planes playing. Wonderful shots.

  54. Hei igjen John!
    Takk for koselig kommentar hos meg, spes. ang. nøtteliten-serien:)
    Jeg er veldig fornøyd med den selv! Har mange fler enn de jeg viste på bloggen. Men det er jo litt begrenset med hvor mange folk gidder å se på kanskje:)

    Dere får ha en fin dag, og kose dere masse med tulla:)

    *Nydelig bakgrunnsmusikk her!

    Hilsen meg over elva(",)

  55. HI John,

    Thanks for visiting my blog. To answer your question...no, that image was not an HDR image. Although I have many HDR images, this one only appears to be HDR with the post processing I did in Adobe Lightroom. I also did some sharpening which has the tendency to give the photo a "drawing" like effect.

    I enjoyed browsing through your blog. Keep up the excellent work.

    Cheers,
    Scotty

  56. Wow, that was a lot of jets. It made for a beautiful photo.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I am always interested in the shapes these trails form. You caught some nice ones.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Contrails are so cool! I love it when the atmosphere is just right and the contrails remain for a while. It looks like children have taken markers and scribbled all over the sky.

Thanks for dropping by and i hope you enjoy the pictures.
