Anyone that's taken pictures through a light aircraft canopy while doing the flying too will know how difficult it can sometimes be to get the composition just the way you want it, while avoiding canopy reflections as well. Quite apart from trying not to let the camera smack you in the face if the air is rough.
These are really terrific, Dirk, great to see some more of your pictures. I wish we had visibility like that in the South of England.
Any canopy reflections are really very minor - you've done a great job controlling them.
I don't think they're oversharpened either - they look a lot better at full size rather than after the forum software has done its resizing. And at full size, they're even more striking.
I'd be interested to know what heights (and altitudes) you were at for the different shots.

Great and wonderful images, I expect these have been given the HDR treatment, no?
The patterns are really amazin', I can look at these all day long, I see so much. Nice one.

Altitude for majority of the photos was 10,000 ft ASL. Terrain elevation of the Valley is around 7,000 ft, more or less. (3,000 ft. AGL).I'd be interested to know what heights (and altitudes) you were at for the different shots.

3 for me is very striking. The perspective makes it look as if your on the ground.

I'm going to be the odd one out and say I love the first one, but the third comes in a close second. No. 2 is less interesting as a photo but fascinating from a geological point of view.
Great stuff.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
