Late descent into Barcelona, too late to catch the sunset but we were lucky to catch some colour between cloud layers.

 

Fujifilm X100T.

Really nice!

 

Must ask you this: (blame Fuji Rumors :P) Does it really matter if we switch all electronical equipment off at the take of and landing? And if so  - why?

 

Keep posting your interesting pics!

Cell phones looking for signal will interfere with our VHF communication, similar like holding a phone next to a loudspeaker. So that can be annoying.

 

Flight safe mode on smaller devices is allowed in our company, but only recently. Before that, we were required by law to make you switch them off. A big laptop during take off and landing is a security risk in case of evacuation, that's why you have to put it away. I think that in most cases, it's more a concern for lawyers and liability than actual risk, as are many other safety requirements (yellow fluorescent jackets everywhere anyone?) :)

Hi Tom,

 

Amazing pictures !! , I have almost the same office (a380) and my XT-1 and the 23mm most of the time.

 

Looking forward to seeing your pictures then :-) I tend to favour the 56mm, to avoid distortion and the dirt on the screens.

As a pilot can you clean your windows before the flight? I hate it that often the windows in a plane are so dirty that can't take decent pictures.

Normally technicians have to come and do it. You have to lean quite far out the window and it's a 5m drop if you slip... I do it myself sometimes if it's really bad and we have little time, but usually they are clean-ish enough to fly. That's why I prefer the 56mm, it allows me to pick a clean spot and shoot through it. The wider you go, the more distortion and dirt you see in the final image.

pretty impressive photographs, The morning shot above italy is just wow, super impressive. Keep it up, got to say your office is pretty amazing, a new office window with a different view regularly.... can't say theres many jobs like yours around!!

Thanks :-)

 

I did my time at an office job and a few weeks was enough to know it would never suit me. So I guess I'm lucky, yes ;-)

37,000 feet, stars & the earth, brilliant, not seen an image like that before, I am astonished the plane is so steady

 

David

Thanks! A plane is never truly steady. But take enough pictures and hopefully one will be kind of sharp if you squint ;-)
