I was more interested in playing than taking pictures. So I handed my friend the camera as the sun was setting. I picked us a good  spot and me and my friends  hung out for a while. then we all left.

Here is a mountain off of a window.side 1 side 2 Front

Catching up with the earlier showing of shots from 30,000, here is one from last November.  You can still get a nice reflection.  Eastern Utah

This last one is from a show at Disney's MGM.  Jafar   The light on the bottom is a projector.  The image noise is from water.  They shoot water about 20ft into the air to use it as a projection screen.

A few flight shots.

A few years ago we flew to Chattanooga for a friends wedding. These are a few shots from the flight.

Portland, Oregon is a city divided by a river. There are eight bridges that tie it all together. This was taken shortly after take off from PDX. We stopped in L.A. to toss a few bodies off and pick up some fresh ones. This sunset is looking back West from somewhere over AZ.  Coming back West I had picked my seat on the side of the plane and had it all set up so I would be able to see the Grand Canyon. I really lucked out and the clouds broke just as we got over  The Canyon. One more shot of The Canyon.

If you are going to shoot while flying... Clean the window, keep your camera as close to the window as you can to cut unwanted reflections and use a U.V. or haze filter if you have one. Best shooting time as per normal for landscapes is early morning and late evening because of haze problems.

Did you know that with an average weight of 4.5 grams it would take 7,500,000 of These to equal the weight of a 737 with an average load on it?

It's rare that I see someone taking pictures out of an airlplane window.  Don't know why.  The views are awesome.

More old shots....

I'm still looking through old negs and came across these shots. Quality isn't the best as they are negs made from slides along time ago. That makes them 3rd generation after scanning them in, so I had to sharpen them somewhat. Anyway, thought I would share. First 2 are from Lake Lure in NC mtns. morning 2 Next one is sunrise on the  intracoastal waterway. This is the Bodie Island light house from the air.
