Aero Shoot 2011

Aero Shoot 2011

Air-plane provide some unique photo opportunities. You can get some wonderful shots from the air, and airports (with permission) you can shoot airplanes on the ground and in flight. Here’s how you can maximize your chances of success.

Focus and exposure

Be sure the camera focuses on the scenery and not the window. If you're using a compact camera, use landscape mode. Another way to minimize the chance of focusing on the window is to get the camera as close to it as possible.

If the light level is low you want a high enough ISO to allow a shutter speed fast enough that camera shake will not blur the picture. But with compact cameras, higher ISOs will cause noise in the image.

Steady the camera as much as possible and press the shutter very carefully and smoothly. And don't just think ground-based scenery. The view of clouds, sunrises and sunsets from six miles up can be spectacular.

Here are five more tips that come to mind on photographing out a plane’s window:

1. Switch to Manual Focus

Quite often cameras get confused when shooting through glass (and on most planes its two or three scratched and marked sheets of glass). Switching to manual focussing mode and locking your focus on your main focal point can help a lot.

2. Shoot early in the Flight

Windows tend to ice up or get condensation on them once you’ve been flying for a longer period of time. Shoot early when you’re window is clearer and your shots will be better for it.

3. Be ready for the Plane Banking

It is difficult from an airliner to take shots of the ground (due to window size and the angles that are possible through them) but opportunities do present themselves for such shots on the few occasions that the plan banks before landing and after take off. The key is to be ready and to shoot fast as these moments don’t last long.

4. Turn off your Flash

For starters it’ll have no impact on your shot (its not strong enough to have an impact beyond a few meters) and secondly it’ll just cause reflections against the window.

5 Look for points of Interest

Sometimes the scenes out of plane windows seem quite spectacular to the eye but when you look at your photos they can be a little empty and un-inspirational. Look for a point of interest to bring your shot to life. It might be the wing or engine of the plane, it could be a cloud formation, another plane, a coastline, a change in the landscape below or a setting sun etc. It could even be something inside the plane.
