Sky Harbor sunrise

    I took my camera to work with me this morning, and am I glad I did so! I was treated to this sunrise while riding the bus to downtown Phoenix, and I took several pictures of it as the bus passed Sky Harbor Airport. In this one, I managed to capture a jet moments before it landed. Because the bus was moving, I didn't dare set a shutter speed lower than 1/60 of a second, but I need not have worried, as this image turned out just fine. This, by the way, is one of the fringe benefits of public transportation, at least for photographers. :-)

      I was really lucky to be able to capture this from a bus moving at about 55 mph, and in a low-light situation as well!

      Impressive, especially given the shooting conditions! Much more impressive than what I shot from home this morning.

      Wow, that is really amazing! Those colors are incredible, and the silhouette is really cool. This makes me want to get up early.

      Thank you! At the very least, it was certainly a fortunate shot, taken as it was from a moving bus on a busy freeway.

      Congrats to you! What airline, and when do you start? And I assume you're starting from scratch, and will have to undergo the training first?
