It's hard to Photograph UFOs

Well I was outside yesterday relaxing out in the last of the summer sun, had my camera in hand. I had wanted to take a photo of a contrail, but I had to recharge my batteries and this is all I got, not in its prime but they're always around here, I think planes begin their approach to Wellington airport over where I live.


Unhappy with not being prepared, I just sat outside watching the skies when it dawned on me how prepared really was I if I did actually get the chance to photograph or film something strange in the sky.

Luckily there's no shortage of planes flying about over where I live, so I started trying to capture them with my camera.


In the hour and a bit I was out there five planes flew by and that's the best shot I got, fully zoomed in with no reference points to help me, it's bloody hard. I know that with more practice I'll get better and I think planes are the perfect thing to practice on.

I have a whole new appreciation for blurred photos and shaky footage now, fully zoomed in on a moving object, only the best tripod will help, taking photos of the moon was hard enough.
