No match
I took this picture during a flight from the South of France while we crossed the Swiss Alps. This time, only small Photoshop tweaks have been done, mainly to get rid of the reflections of the window.

Fabulous. This site has so many awesome photos but this is one of the top for me. Love the lighting on the left. Spreads over the entire range well.

I really like the photo, but I edited it to get rid of lots of overpowering yellow before I put it as my background ;)

CRAZY amazing!!!

WOW! This is definitely one of the most beautiful photographs I ever saw! I really admire your skills.

Lol @ Macindows not take it personally. I consider it normal to ask for a photo of this quality. I am not Sherlock, but I can find things if I ask - as I know now that Cessna is a small plane and not part of a commercial flight. By the way, a phrase of Sherlock: The world is full of obvious things that anyone, at any time, notes. Thanks for the information and remember to fly higher. Safety is the soul of business.

I agree - there's nothing wrong with areal photography. The results are what's important. The fact that several viewers thought at first the pic was taken during a climb only makes the affect all the more stunning. Keep up the good work.

Litd, you could be a detective! :-D When I took this photo, I was indeed sitting in a Cessna, about to land on the Engadin airport. Good work, Sherlock!

An amazing photo. I've been inspired by many of these photos and decided to get myself a D90 with a few lenses to try my hand at it. Does anyone know of a good online source to learn the finer points? Thanks

I agree with the first comment of @Lenses In The Dark..usually commercial flights don't fly at such a low altitude..so you had the chance to wait for the right light and I think you chose the perfect moment to shot!

Isn't the world beautiful...

You are indeed a gadabout. Beautiful work.

I have more questions: How many times have you had to fly over the region to get the right light? I mean, you already circling the area several times to get this result? Before opening this picture I thought: gee, we have a climber in the IFL. After I opened it, the mountains looked very close and said: I think it was very cold. After I read your comment I was in trouble: here we have a survivor of a low flying. lol But it's just fun. :)

Awesome photo!

The picture is incredible. @ Macindows, do not tell me you were on a commercial flight. The pilot could only be crazy flying at an altitude like that - I do not know if you are the pilot and I do not know if it was a small plane. It seems that the photo was taken from the top of a mountain. (I'm not doubting his work, just saying my impression.) Good work! Thanks for sharing.
-
Joel, who said that I didn't fly back and forth until the light was right? ;-) Otherwise, thanks for your nice comments! The only thing that's bugging me is the title... Should have called it "Vanilla Mountains", "Vanilla Sky" or "VanillAlps"...something like that.
