Great Capture, Did you use a Tilt / Shift Lens as there is a lot of detail / DOF for f/2.8?

Behind The Lens

Location

Picture was taken at 37000ft. We were flying towards Malta in Europe. I

Time

I remember getting up and thought maybe i should just take a picture of the scene as it was . Took this picture at 1600 UTC.

Lighting

Well this light was particularly harsh as the cloud reflected most of the light back into the lens. I took two exposures and later merged them in post processing.

Equipment

Canon 6D with a wide angle 16-24mm lens.

Inspiration

Ive seen a few pictures of the flight deck and i thought maybe i should try it. Now that winter is coming, Im hoping to catch the Northern Lights as we cruise a long

Editing

The only post processing I did was merge one normal exposed picture and one slightly underexposed so as to avoid blown highlight. I then proceeded to Increase the Clarity in Photoshop

In my camera bag

Canon 6D , 4 spare battering. 24 - 104 L series Lens, 16 - 24 f2.8 lens and my tripod. Keep it Simple!

Feedback

First of all you have to gain access to the Flight Deck. Unfortunately this day and age its impossible. I do feel bad little Children can't come up front. However that does not mean when we touched onto terra firma their not allowed!
