And don't be afraid to crawl over other passengers to get to the window ;)


My further advice would be to get a seat as far forwards as possible - the wash from the engines if you are behind the wing blurs the image. Business class or first is probably best (I imagine, not having large amounts of mine or someone else's cash to burn).

I have never managed a decent picture with my 20d - I think that P&S must be the way to go with aeroplane pics. Something to do with the smaller lens limiting the distortion of the plane window, I suspect.

Cool - found another one.

organized from a failed hard drive - 5,000+ pics...)

I see what you mean...looks like glare off the window. Circular Polarizer, maybe?

This was taken about five minutes after take-off from Santa Barbara. I love to take pictures from airplanes and usually request the window seat. I haven't flown with my 20d yet, but the little PowerShot S60 used to get a real workout between Santa Barbara and Phoenix.

Over the Rockies from JFK to Van Nyes


I always fly with a camera - too many sights that you just can't get from the ground.
