Seen below is photographer Ian Servin's wild image of the sky above the San Francisco Bay Area during this week's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APAC) summit. World leaders descended on the area, resulting in numerous surveillance aircraft monitoring the scene from above. He said you can identify the aircraft based on a signal the aircraft broadcast for Air Traffic Control.
According to SFGATE, Servin "used his Sony A7 III mirrorless digital camera with a basic 50mm lens to document the swirling light trails from the numerous surveillance aircraft over APEC and the city. The composite is a stack of 150 images shot with 30-second exposure that he took from his apartment in Oakland. He then used Photoshop for the layering, applying the 'lighter color' blending mode to create the final image."
