I won a raffle...a ride in a sweet little Bonanza. :barb We left out of Concord, CA. Pilot Ray Hammons, flew us around the bay. I was so excited to get views that I wouldn't normally get from a commerical airplane. Ray was great...and he banked when we requested so we could get the shot. We hit almost every bridge...a little over one hour. Here are a couple of my favorites. More on my website.

    Neat set of images. thumb.gif Pleased to be able to view them.
    Nice candid in #2. Love to try for shots like that when I can
    get'em.

    It is pretty sweet to get in the air and photograph from angles
    you wouldn't otherwise get. Cool you got to go. :D

    Definitely for me the b&w is the keeper from this set. Well composed shot..

    I would love to try some aerial photography but always felt the window glass would get in the way.

    This proves me wrong.

    Cheers

    I found this some time ago, it might help with plane windows.

    That's a good link!

    I have a couple with some weird glare on the window...I'm thinking about trying to stamp it out.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. I gotta a buddy working on the Golden Gate and he really wants number #4. I'll let you know how it looks printed!
