I am still working on the "magic recipe" for night time flight shots. I keep experimenting and seem to be getting closer to the desired settings. On these two shots, the shutter was set at 1/20, ISO at 2500, and the aperture at f 2.5, but focus was on auto. The camera I am using at the moment allows me to manually focus, but it will automatically go into the macro mode when it detects something up close, like the airplane window. I have looked and looked and not found a way to stop that from happening yet. I think when I do find that, I can set the focus at infinity and the image will be better focused than what the auto usually does. Also I am going to try the next shutter speed faster. I have found it better to slightly underexpose night time photos and correct in processing if necessary.
