You mean to say contrails. Chemtrails, although I guess technically correct since water is a chemical, are just a conspiracy theory that has no hard evidence behind it. Contrails are formed USUALLY around 30,000ft by jet engines due to the rapid crystallization of the water molecules at this altitude. They are known to occur lower or higher depending on temperature, pressure, etc.
derp
there is no plane on this earthrhat can make xontrails that large and thick.
check youtube there are ones that are clearly contrails and then others that are... not.

damn jokester... loving the night sky shots.
what about using filters to show the different light emissions in the sky ? or is the camera filtered to never show those no matter what filter or technique you use. like the IR cut filter over the sensor.

One question, would the sensor get damaged of a direct sunlight in the middle of the day, or this kind?

@Sam_oslo: yes it will when the Sun still up ( btwen 5-7pm?) but it is ok during the Sun is setting same as SunRise and that's why they have polarize filter which cost bit of money

holy crap metric.... is that the 100mm macro... jesus i want one so bad... i just cant afford to give up a whole paycheck for a lens right now.
i am trying to work on some sales bonuses,, and then yeah... i'll have that friggin lens.
and Sam,,, i will whole heartedly disagree with Hale and question where he gets his information although its not an uncommon method of thought!... direct sunlight like the shot you took is NOT going to damage your sensor.... its just not going to happen. not not not... never never never -- ok ok ok i know,, never say never.
truth is.. its a 1 in a billion chance that you would damage a sensor and it would be from a previously flawed or damaged sensor or cut filter over the sensor.
sun shots only take a fraction of a second unless you are using high ND filters to give longer exposures. and never long enough to do any damage.
in fact, if that was the case we would NEVER get beautiful sunrise/sunset pictures like what you posted because EVERY SINGLE camera in the world with a digital sensor would have damage done to it.
not even IR modded cameras are hurt by influx of extra unfiltered infrared light.
the problem isnt the light, its the radiation, to which your camera would die from old age before sun radiation would damage it.
per a flicker discussion - to which i 100000% agree
i guess in the end, we never take DIRECT sun shots, we always point off to the side a little and focus on the sun, so that no direct super awesome iris melting sun beams are shot thru the lens into the camera sensor.Unless you are in the habit of directing streams of very high energy light or particles, like lasers or x-rays, at your camera's sensor, almost nothing you can do will physically damage the sensor.
dont worry about it dude, go about your sunrise/sunset pictures and just enjoy the beauty.

hahhahah maybe I am wrong...I found out that if you shot at fast shutter speed, it will be ok but prolong exposure is not good though because it will damage the CMOS sensor? anyway protect your eyes is the must thing to do + Lestat: I know the picture Sam sure is fine because the Sun is setting pretty low + He shot it pretty far way so It won't be a big deal

high, low it doesnt matter.
direct sun shots wont damage your sensor 99.99999% of the time.
i have seen, as you probably have too, shots where people claim the sun damaged the sensor, and i could believe it, but i dont believe that the sensor was ok before that.
i think the sensors where weak or damaged prior to that and the extremely bright light just pushed the damaged over the edge and made it really show thru.
it was said in a thread last night that if it hurts your eyes, it can hurt your sensor.
i disagree with that whole heartedly, the sensor isnt your eyes, not even remotely close, but i do agree that protecting your eyes comes first so dont stare at the sun for minutes thru the lens to get the shot.
i do agree that longer exposures could damage it, but i find that suspect....
but agree it COULD happen, but the chances are slim.
these are only my opinions and i am not trying to make you believe one thing or the other. there are A LOT of discussions about this and a lot of respected professions have chimed in saying it wont hurt the camera.
there are a few though who say it will.
again, in the end... if it hurts your eyes, dont do it.
if you do live view shots... this i can see hurting the sensor since its exposed for many many seconds, up to minutes at a time waiting for the right shot.
but if you are using TTL shots, then dont worry since the sensor is covered and not exposed even the slightest bit... but your eye ball isnt.
