Boeing 737-700 (N7816B)

This overnight stay was N7816B's first visit to KRNO since it began flying with this Disney COCO movie scheme. It arrived here from Las V a minute or two before 11:00 PM and departed to return to KLAS shortly after 6 AM so its entire visit was cloaked in overnight darkness, but I was able to get plenty of snaps of it when it pushed back, taxied out, and then took off right past me. Very unique livery.

great shot gary,

Hi, Sam. Thanx. I'm practicing up for December. I've been invited to set up on Juliet between the parallels for an hour or two at night. That means I'll have big bright headlights coming directly at me and then in the blink of an eye the planes will pass by and it will instantly be tres dark as they are moving away. The part I'm trying to "master" is having the ISO / shutter / f settings all arranged for intensely bright lights coming at me one second ... and then having to reset all of those settings to get images in intense darkness the next second after it has blasted past me ... while still getting sharp, crisp clarity. (But I'm also looking forward to the rush of having 757 and 767 cargo birds or 737 and A320 paxbirds coming along the r/way straight at me and going by while I'm standing only a few feet away at the HOLD line of Juliet.)

This picture really pops when you click on FULL! Well done Gary! 5*+

Simply, really - just have 2 of the same camera with the same lens, set for each shot. :)

From the top of the parking structure looking back............would not have produced this calendar shot! 5x5 on this click!
