early morning commuter plane to beantown (sony f717)
i really dig how you can see the faintest outline of the prop here on this one. same plane as above, landing in boston. (sony f717)
sometimes, you can get really lucky with the atmospheric conditions (this one taken with a sony p&s, a p9)
high above the sierra nevada, heading to california. this one looks so cool, printed big at 13"x 19" (canon 10d, 16-35L)
won't you share some of your air travel shots?
Excellent photos - I'm not having much luck doing multiple pics as you have set up here, I managed one picture and then tried to send others by successively using the 'reply' button - one at a time. Consequently there are about 10 replies by me with no pics on. I must be really stupid, but how do you do multiple photos like you have done?
ps - I'll take this opportunity to post another pic, if that's ok!

Use a link from your smugmug gallery instead of an attachment. Do you see the little icon above the reply text box that looks like a mountain with a yellow sky and a moon in it? Click that and put in the web address of an image.
Also consider posting your best few shots and then let people go to the associated gallery. 10 shots is (IMHO only) a bit overkill. Just saying.
Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.
Its easy to make picture, its more difficult to make good picture.

This thread makes me wish I'd done a better job shooting Manila, Philippines. One of the most densely populated areas of the world, it would have been cool to catch that aspect as well as some of you folks have displayed in this thread. I got pics, but with my film camera, and I don't have a scanner. Mostly smog and dense city.

Window Seat: The Art of Digital Photography and Creative Thinking
I thought I'd bump this thread with a book review
Julieanne Kost uses her shots from the window seat of an airplane as examples
in a discussion of photography and the creative thought process.
Surprisingly, the book has more photographs than I would have thought. Many
are of places I recognize from my own travels around the country in the window
seat.
The author starts out with a list of things that contribute to the creative
process. Such things as mastering the tools, being open to things that come
your way and my favorite, sharing what you know and learning from others.
From there, we learn about the desire to be creative given the demands of
travel and subsequently through the process of creating a book.
The appendix does give information on data management and some on editing
in PS but otherwise, this is not a book that will teach you step-by-step how
to be creative. I found it usefull to contemplate some of the things in the
first chapters as I looked at the photographs in the book (I would guess the
book is maybe eighty five percent pictures).
I enjoyed the book. It's a quick read and you'll enjoy looking at the pictures
as you think about the creative process.

Moderator Journeys/Sports/Big Picture :: Need some help with dgrin?
AGGGRRRRRR, I just wrote a letter to double exposure... Her pics are great, nice, beautiful, but I hate the descending tone she applies to readers.
She is called a genius, and frankly, I have seen shots here from air from smugmuggers that are as good as hers. Not everybody gets to travel though every week.
My feathers are ruffled because she gives the impression that she is the only one to take pics out of a plane window. I hated it when she wrote : "most people don't even bother to look outside". DOH... I bother, and I did it from the first trip I took in a plane, and that was before she started shooting.
I had the same problems she has, not sitting in a window seat, although I always ask for one, stewards telling you to close down, sitting on the wing, night travel... I have seen it too.
So it bugs me that she gets all the credit and is called a genius...
(Yes, I am jaleous...)
I think she's right about not looking out though. I can spend the entire trip
wondering where I am based on city lights. Others don't often share my
enthusiasm
Certainly the window seat shots are just a vehicle for her creativity and
shouldn't (IMHO) be viewed as anything special.
Andy and I met her at PMA and from our short conversation, I don't think she's
at all condescending.

Good, then she comes over better in real life... I don't know her and have not met her, so maybe she is the most friendly person on earth... I was just venting. Having said that, there are some passages in the book (that I bought BTW) that I find really condescending... Maybe I need to read it again.

I have several pretty good air travel photos at this address http://neiluj.smugmug.com/gallery/788301
Please peruse at your leisure - it's easier this way and there is a better quality in the gallery anyway (not limited to 117Kb/pic)!
Hope you like 'em.
... the plane in Spain?
Click on pic for Exif.
