When you have shot enough from an airplane window, you will noticed the funky red colour so you do it on an angle. Sometimes, like the last shot, you still got it at the lower right hand side. Otherwise, the rest of the shot is as is as how you see it down there.

My fav is #2. Nice set.

You've forced me to listen to Rocket Man! ;)

Thanks David...I like Elton John too...:p

Nice set, Izzie. I like the 2nd shot for the 'tiger' patterns, too.

Thanks Barbara and Greg...I love that one too. I nearly did not shoot it but as the airplane move forward the more it became more attractive because of the light engulfing it and the shapes! they are really tigerish looking. Thank you for your comments and feedback. I really really appreciate them coming from both of you...

Great work , many good remarks to aid in improving some aspects of the pics , no need to repeat, but I do find adjusting temperature and hue is a great aid.

What a beautiful bird's eye view! Or higher.

The only way to get a good shot from a plane without the window distortion and other debilitating problems is to go out and stand on the wing, out near the tip, and well away from the jets' fuel vapours. However doing this can create its own problems, is not to be recommended, and tends to get the cabin crew a bit over excited when they see you out there on the wing with your camera at around 30 000 feet. So, given the position and surrounds restrictions shooting from a plane window at a great height put on you in framing a shot, these are very good and I like them. Good job. Taking pp-ing too far away from the original to tackle window distortion and colour casts can move you further away from what you actually saw into the realms imagination, and then you might as well take up painting as the better solution to these problems. I really like your original posts.:)

Raymond and Nick -- thank you so much for your feedback. 'Appreciate it very much....

Greg (Footloose) also suggested the same to me, but as I said, I am not acrobatic enough to stand out there and shoot from the wing. Which btw is the safest place while onboard just in case of a midair accident -- the wing area, in case of flying over the water, is the last one or seldom breaks and you'll have more than enough time to get out and help yourself to safety compared to other locations inside the plane.

And I agree with you on your assessment here...I think I had been the greatest contortionist at the time, trying to hide my light carry-on behind my leg in bulk head, balancing my camera, taking care of that the blanket doesn't slip off my thigh, etc. while having breakfast and drinks and watching my composition on a teenie weenie viewfinder.
