I was at Weeze wenn I got 4 chances of a moon crossing. (this was my goal for the evening).
I was positioning myself on the southside of airport weeze at the entrance road to the eventgelande. (outside the airfield).
Most of the departing traffic goes south, so I hoped for a moon crosser. The skies were clear, the moon was almost full and 4 737's were on the ramp
starting up.
First 737 went to london a was not anywere near the moon. Second a/c to PMI i believe, went towards te south an flew way left of the moon.
The third one was EI-EBI, right turn after departure from rwy27 at weeze, kept turning and turning to the south. Overhead weeze
he initiated a left turn... away from the moon. OMG
! but shortly after that an immediate right turn towards the moon again and heading southwest.So, with some adrenaline pumping I started some testshots at the moon, check camera settings, should I go lower in ISO? Should I go
higher on exposure?, looking at the aircraft and moon again.... damn this will be def-fi-net-ly be a crossing! 5 seconds to go, point the camera at the moon,
autofocus on... focus...adrenaline pumping.. both eyes open, one looking through the viewfinder... there he is!!! SHOOT
1,2,3 pictures ...and he's gone again.... my adrenaline pump came to rest.... checkthe photos. Lighting o.k. sharpness o.k. we got em...... my first moon crossing shot!!
