Outstanding shots! I never can quite capture a good night time cockpit image.

What were your settings that you were using?

I was trying ISO 400 and ISO 800 and in aperture mode the lowest aperture setting I can go is 2.8. With aperture set to 2.8 it suggest a shutter speed sometimes 4 seconds or so.

With that setting the lighting looks fine and the cockpit comes out good but in a moving plane I cant possibly keep the camera still enough for that long to take a clear picture.

Tweaking the settings I can get a 1/5 shutter speed which helps the stability issue but no longer blurs the lights since the shutter is a bit too fast.

What was the technique you used and settings?

Tripod my friend , its the only way with such a slow shutter speed

Great shots! I love low light and night photography, I'm personally not good at it but really enjoy seeing people that can do it.
