A few days ago, I posted a photo that an airplane traveler took from her seat (see here) and which had received a great deal of internet attention. I received a few photos as a follow-up, including the above from 2 Guys Photo featured photographer, Art Hill. According to Art, this is: “Coronado bridge from San Diego as we flew out over the ocean before heading East back to Chicago.”
Here are a few more…
From Ed, of 2 Guys Photo:
Per Ed: “These were all taken in 2008 when flying back from a business trip in Boca Raton, FL. The two in red were not tinted by me, although because of the glare the setting sun cast upon my window, I did post-process to clear them up. These were taken over the Chesapeake Bay, and in one, you can actually see what I believe is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
A few more from Art:
Art tells us: “The California shots were with a Canon XSi. The Chicago shots are pretty old (2005). I shot them with a Nikon Coolpix 8800 as I didn’t have a DSLR at the time. My daughters went with me in a small private plane. It was a Father’s Day present. The camera was way too slow to shoot RAW so I shot JPEGs and did the best I could in post processing. The California shots come from RAW files with a Canon Picture Style called CLEAR applied to them. These are the originals.”
Very good then. Thanks, Art. Thanks, Ed.

That Clear picture style that Art uses did a great job of producing those images with excellent clarity. Should I start digging up shots I took on planes? Nah… Mostly predigital.
Maryann – if you decide to do some digging (and digitizing) we’d be happy to do some posting.
