Stuff like this happens to the majority of p
eople in the aviation community, whether its really cloudy, the camera doesn’t focus, or like in the example above, a camera on a post gets in the way.
At least the most of us (especially me) will sometimes get lucky and the clouds move out of the way. For example, seeing 2 A340s in a day, and a B747 both at cruising altitude which allows for some amazing trail spots like this.
