Great work Austin...darn finals and group study sessions....I missed ALL of this! I'm glad you captured it. The news featured several folks's shots tonight. Yours with the B17 beats em.

austinspace says:

wow, thanks, everybody--just luck and tsack's fortunate overhearing of someone seeing it at the dog/frisbee competition we were shooting at...check out his shots, too!

Jibby! says:

TOTALLY AWESOME! If I hadn't seen the atmospheric phenomenon and the B17 myself, I'd suspect you of photoshoppery. Blame it on luck if you'd like, but at that moment you were the Einstein of photography. Sell this baby for huge bucks to some magazine or something.

lawatha says:

Wonderful shot... it looks like you're in the air- it appears that you're looking down at that plane. But, I take it you were at the fairgrounds for the Pet Fair? The sky was amazing, I couldn't see it from Colville, but my Mom sent pictures from Post Falls. How was Pet Fest? We meant to go, but forgot that it was this weekedn. :(

lawatha says:

Congratulations! This image is currently one of Flickr's most interesting photos for 03 June 2006. (It is on page one of the calendar view.) Would you please add it to the Interestingness pool? It would be a great addition!
Posted 42 months ago. ( permalink )

austinspace says:

I'm flabbergasted by the attention this photo has received, but very grateful! Thanks everybody.

lawatha, PetFest was a lot of fun. We went to take pictures of my coworker tossing his frisbee to his dog, but he didn't show up! But we got lots of other pix of that event, and my wife wanted to take several of the adoptable kitties home with us. Definitely go next year!

unbelievable! camera/PS trickery?
Posted 42 months ago. ( permalink )

austinspace says:

oh no, no tricks! I did contrast the one with my wife just so you could see her better in it, but this one is untouched. There are some pics on the local paper's site of this, too--at this link--and the first is by a photographer at the paper and it looks very photoshopped to me, because the sky was not nearly that dark.

I had to check back to see if you had made 5,000 views. I figured the momentum would GROW and GROW as this is an unusual phenomenon. Still, almost 3,000 views! You should be pleased! : )

Beautiful photo ! I was also lucky enough to get a photo of the same type of clouds. In Silver City,NM. . They look really cool when you see the clouds closer up. I did several zoom ins with my digital camera.

Where were you to take this?

austinspace says:

I live in Spokane, Washington, US. I was at the Fairgrounds here attending an event and turned around to see this. Coincidentally there was a vintage B-17 aircraft in town offering rides from a nearby airport, and it happened to go by!
