Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, it is a photo. The moth was chilling on a window after sunset. The blue dots are out of focus apron lights.

Almost forgot to get back to you about that last part: Yes it did, but this wasn’t that.

Here’s a picture I took when the smoke was making a sunset unusually red:

This was a telephoto at the horizon at around midnight. The sun was only a bit above the horizon, so the lighting was similar to a sunset/sunrise.

Here’s another picture of that same midnight, looking towards the sun.

Nah winters are beautiful up north. Sometimes also in the south, but only rarely around the southern coast.

Thanks!

You’re welcome!

Thanks! That day was beautiful.

Looks like you indeed did! Nice catch!

I was thinking that this was exactly what happened.

Airbus A220-300, formerly known as the Bombardier CSeries, yes.

I took the picture from about 500 meters away. If you look closely, you can see that the windows at the front and back of the plane aren’t lined up perfectly because perspective is a thing.

I happen to know a spot that lines up pretty well with planes landing on that particular runway. Then it’s just a matter of spamming the shutter until one of the shots comes out like this.

I was thinking about HDR photography where you take multiple pictures of the same scene with different expoures and combine the best parts of each for a picture with a high dynamic range. This evidently wasn’t the case here.

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

When shooting double exposure, one isn’t supposed to move the camera. The church tower should appear darker than the other buildings and definitely not translucent. My guess would be that this picture was taken through a window with the bright sunset behind the camera and reflected on the glass. Or then it really is just two completely different pictures stitched together. Wouldn’t call that a double exposure though…

I’d wager that yes. The problem is that natural UV light is available only during daytime when visible light outshines its effects.
