Da Plane, Da Plane (t)

This particular morning, I had two drones flying to capture shots of the Blue Moon. I used one to shoot the Moon and the other drone. You ever try to fly two drones simultaneously? It's a lot of work!

Truthfully, this is a composite. My shots of the Moon were so boring, I had to do something. Besides, I liked the drone story.

#TGIF. From a deep freeze at dawn to a bright warmer afternoon. I have to admit "it's beginning to look a lot like spring," although it's not my favorite season (I'm weird, I know.). The proof was, when I left work and got to my car, the windshield was covered with very tiny but very visible POLLEN🤬
Kengo wishes you a restful evening and a great weekend to all the good souls. My camelia has its first bloom.

Snapped from a moving car. I had the camera prepped at 1/500s with everything else on auto - motion blur, you won’t beat me this time! The plane had my attention first, but when the streetlamp curved into view, mirroring the contrail’s arc, I couldn’t resist. One quick shot, no time for second chances. Naturally, the autofocus decided this was the moment to contemplate a few seconds. Oh well, it's still funny.

“We also saw that flights that avoided contrails burned 2% more fuel, which would translate to 0.3% more fuel when scaled across an airline’s fleet. (This is because not all flights make contrails, and with AI predictions, only a fraction of flights need to be adjusted.) Together, this suggests #contrail avoidance costs could be in the range of $5-25/ton #CO2e, which would make it one of the most cost-effective #ClimateSolutions.”
