Sublime! There must be literally millions of 'out the airplane window' photos in the world (I'm sure there's a Flickr Group...) but this rises above* the standard air-travel shot. The color of the sky is so beautifully rich, it really looks like you're pushing the edge of the atmosphere. And then the window frames it back into human perspective, putting the viewer in the traveller's seat, rather than just showing us what he sees. My new favorite!

*punny!

Haha! I won't deny the slide into old fart territory, but connecting with Brits online will give you some serious pun schooling.

i find the pun a useful bambozler, alot like mocking people who have no idea. i think the pun is a lost artform, you guys should start the revival.

the colors are really crisp here and the framing really draws me eyes into the photo; i feel like i'm seeing this through your eyes which is a nice effect :)

Fantastic picture! This one is certainly a wow;-) I have taken pictures out of an aeroplane window but this is much better than those;-)

gregory lee says:

@poptan: I love the combination, too. Somehow it feels high in the air and cold.

@la femme jen: That was exactly my goal. It's nice to see someone see what I saw... :p hehe

@Nat: Thanks Nat, that's very kind of you.

@LaStef: I have taken lots of pictures out of an aeroplane window, too! This is the only one that ever came out! har har har (seriously though, this took a lot of tries... but I wasn't going anywhere, eh? : )

I'll agree with many of the previous posters -- this is, quite simply, the best photo from/of a commercial airplane window I've ever seen.

I hate Yves Klein. Gaudi wouldn't be happy with his views ;)
Posted 35 months ago. ( permalink )

gregory lee says:

I don't necessarily agree with Klein's personal and social politics, but Yves Klein Blue and the idea of painting the infinite were beautiful.
I prefer a world with both Gaudi andYves Klein in it.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Inside the plane, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

Wow.. MY plane shots always look quite different :(

Excellent work.

gregory lee says:

The thick polycarbonate windows on jets really have bad light transmission properties. You have to undo all sorts of evils in photoshop in order to have the actual colors come through!

I hate it when people say (I just dont fly) why the Heck not its the best way to get to out of reach places in a short period of time. I love to fly I don't fly a lot but when I have to go far its the best way to go. And I have sometimes been in a given airport for hours just people watching. P.S. Damn good shot
