Landscape From 36,000 Feet!

Hi guys!

Recently on a trip to Florida, I experienced an outstanding sunset! I took many frames and waited for the right moment for the beacon light to flash (red light under jet fuselage/body). Struggling to cover the Personal TV with a magazine in front of me, the passenger next to me noticed and offered to hold it against it so I can reduce the window reflection. Being very patient and still, I pulled of this handheld 2.5 exposure photo at ISO 320:

I was astonished how the photo turned out, of course not perfect and slightly blurry but not too noticeable for a fairly long handheld shot!

C+C appreciated :)

Thanks for looking!

Very nice. I especially like the wing and engine in the shot for the extra points of interest. Though, I suspect you didn't have much choice in the matter. ;-)
Thank you :) !
Well at 22mm it wasn't very interesting and 70-200 just showed the lovely layers.

Not that high over Croatia.
Just before I get shocked by 41°C after coming from Germany with 8°C
Very nice shot, looks like a stunning place!
I had that feeling when coming from -25°C in Canada to +27° in Mexico. As the airport doors opened this heat just HITS you...

Here is a shot I got while flying out of Missouri. Shot with Canon 5D MKII, 50mm 1.8 II at 1.8, iso 25,600 and shutter speed of 1/160. Was my first time photographing out of a plane and wasn't sure what kind of shutter speed I needed.

I happened to have traveled on January 2013 and got a few pictures taken on an airplane.
A couple of them are here.
The first, going to Hokkaido, Japan. And the second was flying to Singapore.
Both using 5D3/70-200-f/2.8II.
Not as nice as the ones above, but, still from over 5 miles up.
