All the pictures are amazing, I cannot even pick a favorite one. It must take one much skill to be able to create such photography - I think that aerial photography may be considered a separate outstanding form of art.

Yep most of them from the Beech19 DV window a few on my flickr site are from a Cessna Caravan and a few from an Airvan


Having seen your photos I'm going to have to try taking some photos using the DV window at the weekend. I'll let you know how you get on as I suspect I'l have questions about lenses and shutter speeds etc etc etc!

Slightly off topic, but do you own the Airvan, as I walk past it most days on the walk over to the office, but I don't think I've ever spotted it in the air?

Fantastic pictures.

Why is it that I keep thinking this one is a desert bone yard for Apple notebooks and Macs :)

The main thing is reducing vibration find a smooth power setting if its fixed pitch normally quite a high RPM 2500 or low area 2000 rpm works well. Keep the camera away from touching anything keep it out of the wind moving the seat back a bit will help in keeping your back away from the back of the seat back this will stop most of the vibration that will affect photos.

The Airvan's not mine its gone to the USA now.

2nd best view of Milton Keynes I've ever seen.

Best one is in the rear view mirror.

Superb pics as usual. I have aerials of many of those subjects but they look carp. I'll have to make more effort or get myself a decent camera of course.
Mine is a Fuji with a 20x optical zoom which I thought might be a reasonable compromise. Perhaps it's the nut behind the viewfinder wot is carp.
