Description Truley the only way to see a sunset is in flight, sadly I only got a sideview to the wonderings in the cockpit. Such is why I don't like being in a plane, so much better when you can see straight . Anyways, this is one of maybe a hundread photos I took. The fading sun reflects on a towering cumulonimbus.

What wonders nature produces.

While it is a bit grainy, the capture of the color and the subject itself is amazing. Excellent shot.

Sorry about the grain guys.
Good thoughts WhiteMyst, although everybody missed the dead giveaway. The ISO speed: 50.
It was very dark, and to compensate, it lowers the film speed; part of that automatic exposure program.
It's true that older cameras did use slower film speeds and thus ended up with a grainy look (also too poor film quality would attribute to dust on the prints, as well as the negatives.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Hmm, this'll sound stupid, my being a novice and all, but it seems almost as if it was taken by one of the cameras from the 60's or 70's. They have that grainy look, but you can still see the picture, especially in comparison to earlier cameras? Yeah, okay, but it's a good shot. And if you're gonna be a pilot, bring a friend, head on up, and point yourself directly to more shots like this!

Gorgeous colours, though it's a bit grainy. :/
Moments like that make flying worthwhile for sure!
