It has nothing to do with what we were discussing on this topic....but yesterday I went flying. I was so sorry not to have the camera with me, since I lent it to my brother, because it was a gorgeous flight and I've flewn over a lake (lago d'orta, italy) with an island within. the weather was sunny, some clouds here and there, a lot of relax and beautiful sceneries. A pity I had booked the plane for two hours only and I lost a lot of time in front of the new meteo briefing station, I'm not yet accustomed to  ::) . I will surely repeat the flight, so that I can take some pics to post here.... :)
I give that landing a 9 . . . on the Richter scale.

Its to bad you forgot your camera, because that place sounds beautiful!  :)
I bring my camera on every flight, but I never get any good pictures. There is always marks from the window and stuff like that, which ruins everything.. Any tips?

EDIT: I just saw this was an oold post, but I hope thats alright  ::)
If you catch my drift...

Fekke, no worries about it being an old post. I'm quite sure that, as soon as I go back to switzerland, I will go flying again on this track, since it was lovely.  :)
About your question....apart from the cleaning of the windows :) , one of the idea could be of switching the autozoom of the camera off, since it risks to zoom on the window instead of the outside. try otherwise the small hole (how the hell is it called?!?) on the CPT window (if there is). My picture are never beautiful, to be honest, I do not really look for an artistical snap, but a souvenir of the flight. and actually, if inside remains something specific, as a part of the cockpit or the pitot's tube or part of the wing, I'm even happier!

Ok, thanks for your help!
I guess you mean auto-focus, and not zoom?
Thanks anyway.

Go for a ride in a Cub and leave the window open!  ;)

The sky and land joined for one brief moment, then we flew - the ground a receding memory for just a little while.
