Well 2004 was one of the best years for me in aviation. Mainly due to my Borneo trip back in May where I had 8 flights in 12 days, flew to many airports that most people never will, and flew on airlines and planes that not many people have. Unfortunately I didn’t have my new camera before then, and so was quite restricted. They’re still memories though, and ones which I’d like to share. Shots 1-6 are with the old camera, you’ll notice a significant difference from 7-10.
1. A Malaysian ‘water village’ as seen from Malaysia Airlines 737.
2.I was particularly pleased with this shot. Mt Kinabalu is the tallest mountain in South-East Asia (around 12,000ft), 90% of the time in dense cloud. One of the only clear shots I’ve ever seen of it.
3.Lovely sunset, as seen from Australian Airlines 767 approaching SIN.
4.Onboard QF747 SIN-FRA. This other QF jet was flying SIN-CDG, and took off just before us in the queue. For about 8 hours we followed side by side.
5.Here’s my ‘local’, Stansted, from the air. As seen from MYT A320 going to Lanzarote a couple of months back.
6.A sense of the action down on the beaches of Lanzarote.
7.I wouldn’t have got this shot hadn’t it been for a request from Matthew Murray. I think I fulfilled his request though, and got a picture I’m very proud of at the same time.
8.Taken just before sunset, the perfect time for lighting the belly on aircraft.
9.Trying to find a new angle to make the 737’s a bit more interesting.
10.And finally, I loved the light reflections on this one.
