RE: [LRflex] Birthday Aerial Photos
Hi Howard,
Well
my dear friend not bad for a first time shoot and a crappy weather day.
However?
Did you ask the pilot about taking a door off? OR putting a
window down. #1 you would've eliminated window reflections for sure.
Oh it might have been a little chilly, but just put more clothes on!
If
he said "NO!" about putting the window down or door off I'd have got
another pilot as I have done any time they refuse. My aerial
photography has been from
helicopters....
"ALWAYS THE BEST!" and door off. And over the years a multitude of
fixed wing flights. Certainly with the
door off which only takes but a few
minutes to take off and return upon landing.
If
you should have the opportunity to do it again? Insist the door comes
off and you wont believe the
improvements for angles and better photo opportunities.
I'm
glad you enjoyed it! next time? Hope for a clear day and door off
without question!!!
cheers,
Dr.ted

Aerial Photos
Hello Flexers,
First, thank you for the helpful
advice about taking aerial photos.
I ended up taking my NikonD800E
with my Leica 28 Elmarit R attached.
I used it to take several pano
photos. I also took the D500 with the 24 - 85
zoom. My wife Esther used the fuji
X100F.
I sat in the rear of the 1979
Cessna which we chose as it has flat windows
in the back which minimized
reflections in the cabin. Esther sat in the co-pilots
seat and had more problems with
reflections.
It was a dull, overcast day but we
didn't experience any rain until we were
on the return to the Squamish
airport after the 55 minute flight.
16 photos are in the aerial photo
folder. Please look here:

you like. C&C always welcome.
Cheers
