 A little blurry, but I'm happy with these photos considering I was trying to time the shutter to open during occasional gaps in the clouds. Besides, it was about five degrees out.

The shot above was taken using a digital Canon Rebel XT with a three-and-a-half second shutter speed and f-stop of 5.6. The one below had an eight-second shutter. Both were zoomed to 300mm.
