I will likely never get this shot again as long as I live. I was shooting seagulls in the early night sky, handheld but braced against a railing, full 20x telephoto on my Olympus (540mm equiv.). I took about ten shots before I got this one. Lucky. I converted this to black and white and lowered the exposure slightly to combat the noise in the original. That said, this was taken well after the sun went down.

Hello Evan - from Scotland !
I am very new to Flickr and have added 3 of your pics, including this one, to my favourites. Oh to be in the right place at the right time - always a big problem for me - Ha Ha !! My dream is to capture a high level jet passing across the disc of the Sun during a partial solar eclipse !! Should be no problem !!
