I don't recall how much time it took to recompose. Pretty easy to zoom
out, drop the axis of the camera with the tripod adjust and reshoot. I
shoot sunsets in manual mode or spot/memory. It could have been as
little as 5 seconds. The trajectory of the thing is weird to me if it
is a jet, and the way the unrelated contrail "shadow" has moved in
relation to it.
In any case, I feel like there is nothing like Kodachrome, or possibly
just slide film, for shooting sunsets. I think I'll dedicate my
remaining stock of E6 to this subject-matter.
