Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Hello, flew from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro this past weekend and wanted to share some shots from the airplane flight there.  Most of these shots were taken from the airplane window with my X-E2 and the XF 35mm.

 

Hope you like it!  I'll post separate entries so you may tell me which ones you like best by liking the post!

 

Thank you.

 

First shot was one of the ones I liked best, not from the plane.  This is Copacabana beach. These birds flew by in a cool formation and I was glad to fit them in the compostition.

The Sugar Loaf edited in lightroom.  It ended up looking like a classic chrome shot, I think.

Different shot of the Sugar Loaf.  Now, monochrome:

This is one of the longest bridges in the world.  At least it used to rank pretty high.  It crosses the Guanabara bay with Rio de Janeiro on the lower left, and Niteroi on the other end, outside the picture.

This shot is near São Paulo.  This winding road goes from São Paulo to the beach.

The last one is looking right, from the hotel window.  The first shot up top is looking left.  Both were taken using Velvia.
