I have always wanted to take one of those aircraft passing the moon shots.......i still have'nt ....but this was close.
I was out at NZCH this evening to pick the boss up, and while waiting i saw this Qantas 74 rolling.....managed to get a couple of shots, but the moon one was a fluke.
Ran it thru photoshop to tidy it up , but other than that, its raw.
We never see 74's here anymore.....lucky shot .
The left wing tip on the top pic looks odd....but its not edited







Cheers
