No, the passengers don't know I take pictures, but I am hardly unique in this, I personally know at least 30 airline pilots who take pictures from aircraft too, though probably only half of them using DSLR's, and probably only 5 or so who know how to process them to get the best out of them. In fact I recently gave a quick Photoshop lesson to a fellow pilot. The passengers probably don't know we read newspapers either...with the level of automation in todays aircraft it's a good idea IMO to keep your mind active, and there's two of us and a computer monitoring things at all times. On a flight to Australia we don't even talk to Air Traffic Control for about 7 hours of the flight so it's good to keep yourself occupied...

I have this image similar to Edward Fox from Day of the Jackal. Its Aliengrove with a home made gyroscopic steady cam broken down into innocent parts and carried about his luggage as he passes through security.
Its either that or find a spare 22 million quid. link.
Thanks all for the comments! Just got back from a flight, no opportunities this time for any further attempts.

Hoping to get a few snaps tonight, just off to work and there's a bit of weather along the East Coast of the US....

Strap the camera to a heavy hard disk drive, and spin it up, the faster the better. Hey presto, a DIY gyro-mount.
