Not sure about the video, but I like Yowa Yowa's pictures

I don't like rating systems at all. It's one of the reasons I don't bother with ephotozine anymore; there's a lot of technically suspect and uninspiring images on there with reams of votes. The Readers Choice Award Gallery on there is a joke. The only way you are likely to get 30 votes, with your image disappering off the front page within an hour, is if you are a member of some mutual appreciation society.

I hope PPG does not follow this route in any way. My only complaint with it previously, apart from the apparent drop in standards, was the clunky interface.

Strategically placed bits of black card, moving reflective ojects so they don't reflect in the windows, and in your case the luxury of being able to turn the aircraft in order to minimise reflections can all help to improve the shots.. That being said, the pics are pretty good anyway! Using longer focal lenths and taking the same image through different parts of the window, so you have a number of images to choose from, can also help. I rarely shoot below 24mm.

Nice shots, all of them, and a great idea for a project, look forward to seeing more!

+1. Love that first shot. I like the 2nd one too, unusual use of DOF.

Love how the curve of the building is mirrored in the clouds, very nice!

Thanks for the comments! I don't expect I will ever photograph one of these again, so I was pretty pleased with it!

[The six second exposure means anything not lit by the flash tends to be blurred, so there's not much point in trying to extract more detail from the foreground. Plus it introduces a lot of noise.

Monsoon




Part of the Southwest Monsoon from above, over the Bay of Bengal. Lots and lots of water.
