How to Photograph From Planes is a YouTube vlog I put together 3 years ago, but never got around to releasing it. Why? Because just afterwards, the pandemic hit and flying was nigh on impossible.
The sound isn’t perfect, but then I am on a flight and trying not to disturb other passengers around me.
Tips would be to use a 16-35mm or 24-70mm lens. Anything longer starts showing the ground speed of the plane.
If possible, take a look at Flight Radar 24 to see what flight path your plane is likely to take. At times you’ll be flying over some beautiful landscapes or sometimes be flying over cityscapes as you come into land.
If you can get the first row, then you’re definitely in business. Being seated over the wing will result in nothing, whereas if you’re at the back, you may pick up the heat from the engines.
So check out how to photograph from planes as next time you fly you could end up with some spectacular images on your journey.
My YouTube channel is dedicated to all things landscape and travel photography, so if that’s your thing, then I’d love to have you come along for the ride.
And if you’re interested, I offer photography tours and workshops in a variety of destinations around the world. If you’re interested in learning more from me to help you get the best out of your photography, then get in touch.
