Great shots Sam, I fly out to Kong Kong on Friday, these have got me in the mood 🙂

Great photos and video.

I also visited Hong Kong about 18 months ago, although with Virgin Atlantic instead.

after toiling with youtube, i finally managed to get the landing up onto the web. so, without further Ado, the rinky dinky link:

Lovely shots. That terminal at Hong Kong looks superb. I bet it puts most of ours to shame.

seeing the specks and dirt on the window on #7 actually improves the photo! It gives a sense of perspective and makes me feel like Im actually sitting onboard looking out. Beautiful photo. great stuff Sam.:)

thanks for that paul; you’re absolutely right:D

thought i would upload a few more.

shows a vapour trail of an aircraft ahead of us….unfortunately, we never overtook it.

VHHH

an old favourite that we usually see at NEMA:D:D

taken from the cable car on Lantau:

i attempted a couple of shots of the vapour trail from our aircraft, but couldnt quite catch it.

Sam

A very interesting bunch, Sam! Looks like you had a good trip! It’s been over two years since I’ve flown on a 747, your cabin shots reminded me just how big they are!

As for being ‘not photographically brilliant’, a great photo doesn’t need to meet any technical criteria, it just needs to make people think “that’s a really nice shot”. There were plenty in there that made me think that. 😉

Paul

thankyou simon! i should know by now that not every shot is going to be a cracker…..low lighting and window reflection / dirt play havoc with the camera. however, you are right in saying that they show a journey accross great distance…..and they are something that i should be, and am, proud of. im glad you said that, thankyou.

Sam

Sam, Great shots…all of them! You say they are not Photographiclly brilliant…hell they are! They show a journey from one side of the world to another in images, I think they are photgraphically brilliant.

Well done.

Woopers, kool shots Sam 🙂 Shot with the flash is amussing, how many heads instantly turned around I wonder? 😀

Superb there Sam! Brings back memories of my two visits on HK. I’ve been to Happy Valley stadium too, to watch the Asian Cup qualifier vs Kazakstan, sadly 0-0 was the score!

0-0? wow, tough game! at this year’s Cup Final, Fiji were losing 0-27 to samoa and were seconds from equalising in the second half as the whistle blew…unfortunately they didnt make it! watching rugby is intense! i was supporting Fiji but Samoa dod a good job, so there arent any hard feelings:p

Cheers for the feedback adam, it means a lot! i reckon those snow shots look almost like they are amoebas…..the very “learned” flight attendant said they were infact glaciers:rolleyes: . the floor of CLK is indeed shiny. someone was always cleaning it!

Sam

excellents shots Mr Sam! The London shot is spectacular and I see that HK has really, really shiny floors in its terminal, lol. The Siberian shots are interesting – spooky in a way. dunno why, they just are.:)

Sam:)
