jun14.jpg - This was probably my most innovative shot of the day. This is somewhere over central-to-western Texas. I had a window seat in First Class, so I covered the window with a blanket to reduce internal light reflection from the cabin and tried to hold the camera still. I believe the movement in this picture was the results of gentle rolling by the aircraft (the slight star motion) and mild bumpiness that naturally occurs during a flight that shows up in the brighter ground lights that streamed past the window in this 15s exposure.Mods: Noise reduction, as digitals in high-ISO conditions can be noisy.

$OK, here's a more instantaneous view of it. I tried again tonight, and added a second floodlight on the opposite side to double the light, then increased the ISO to 2000, shutter speed at 1/2500s, aperture at f10, for some depth of field. This quite well froze the action! Mind you, this shape maintains itself for a tiny fraction of a second. At 6.3fps, there is exactly 1 frame with water in it before I get a black frame with no more water. This time, I used black tape to secure the needle to a straw. It was less obvious, but I still airbrushed it out.Mods: Airbrushed out the straw bearing the pricking needle.$
