Above the clouds

Argos

I was fortunate enough to get a window seat in an exit row on a recent flight -- and luckier still to be flying over a nice cloud deck just before sunset. The result was about an hour of photo ops with good cloud contrast. Here's one of my faves from the series:

The image is pretty much straight out of the camera, only a tiny bit of white balance clean-up in Aperture.

EXIF:
Olympus E-510
14-42mm lens, at 42mm
100 ISO, f/10, 1/320sec.

C&C would be appreciated...

At 35000 ft MSL (guess)

I tried at noon :cry

Darned close -- it was bumpy at 35,000 so we cruised at 38,000.

As for the lighting, don't feel sad -- I've done my share of flying (as a passenger), and never before seen lighting / cloud conditions this good. I was just darned glad that I had my DSLR gear with me, and a good seat.

Beautiful photo of above the clouds. And you got another plane in the photo as a bonus

Great shot! I love being up in the sky, I find it peaceful.

Hi Argos, I used to love having the window seat on flights,
till I did a few long haul flights from Australia to USA.
The isle seats are much better on those long flights,
though I must say I'm good at climbing over people now

The Window seats are great for taking photos,
nice capture with the other plane in the background
