I was playing with a lens, photographing the moon from my front porch. I was a little startled when the plane appeared, but I leaned in and kept shooting. That is a habit I picked up from photographing dancers and sports which is, when something unexpected happens in front of the camera, keep your eye to the camera, stay with the motion, keep shooting. That habit paid off as I got three exposures when the plane flew in front of the moon. In the first one, only the nose of the plane is visible. In the third one, only the tail of the plane is in front of the moon. The second shot was this one. Thankfully.
