Junk or not junk?

I originally discarded those as junk, but I grew to like them. It was an extremely bright sunset and the Sun had a huge orange halo around it.
Obviously, the camera... okay... I metered in the wrong place and got some interesting pics.

    I like these a lot. Very well done silhouettes. You may have metered wrong but these shots came out great.

    Thanks a lot guys!

    It means a lot to me. I am new at most stuff that does not involve photographing a watch so this gives me a much needed boost to keep on going with it. Even though this is an accidental shot.

    Actually I believe she seated herself back in front of the pilot. Check it out.

    Hmmm.... I don't see her there.... headscratch.gifheadscratch.gif

    Look at the full size pic... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3499/3930489020_139d161d3d_o.jpg

    Usually she is easy to spot.
    Here is the same plane, shot a few month prior to those that I posted (those were shot with a D50).

    Yup, very nice results, whatever you intentions. Reminds me of one of my favorite sayings that often applies to photography: Luck beats brains.
