Brilliant - okay, how did you get a seat with clear windows? I always get the scratched-up ones....

Ahh you want my secret! Ok you twisted my arm with a fav :-)

The trick is not clear windows mine are always scratched, the secret is a wide aperture so the scracthes become inconsequential noise.

This shot was made at f2.2 and you can see the shutter speed, focus was at infinity.

This works even if there is stuff on your lens as the near field is totally out of focus. I have a scrached up 85mm f1.2 that I use for portraits as the scratches only male the image nice and soft.

Try it :-) let me know the results.
