A really wonderful set. Amazing clarity and (just for a change) No3 is my favourite.

Thanks for the comments, I hadn't thought beyond a Blurb book, for my own amusement and friends/family. I have been working erratically on it for a while....the working title is Through The Looking Glass, which is the folder name on my website and Flickr for aerial shots. After all these positive comments, maybe I'll approach a publisher...
If your a constant flyer (not everyone is, especially with a camera), and have attained a lot of quality images from up there, then a publisher would certainly be interested, I would've thought.

How about Eight Miles High?

Plus, ever tried any stitched panoramas? They could be amazing.

I have tried panoramas, but there are a lot of technical difficulties: reflections, flare, dirt on the windscreen, very different light in different parts of the sky. I'll persevere though!

I have tried the Sigma 10-20 on occassion, though the same problems apply! Managed a few though. Most of my shots end up being around 24mm, which is why I have started using the 24mm Sigma.

If anyone is interested is seeing more, there are more aerial shots on my Flickr page, in the set Through The Looking Glass.

I got a few shots of thunderstorms at night on my way back from Osaka last night (just got home!), I am hoping at least one is usable!
