Vienna from above

Well wasn't at home this weekend, had to fly to Vienna for business. One of our aircrafts was crippled at Vienna airport, but thanks to Austrian Airlines Technique, the problem was perfect solved. Flew on monday the aircraft back to Amsterdam and had the oppertunity to sit on the observers seat in the cockpit, to see if the guys from Austrian did their work properly....and they did, which didn't surprise me :-)

The weather was gorgeous, and I took this shot with my new camera toy the Sony cyber-shot (bought at Schiphol when leaving on Friday :-)
Well at least I got a fine clear shot from Veinna from above. This picture is taken from the right hand cockpit window, while seated in the middle "seat" between the captain and co-pilot, in the WS you will find an other look from that window.

Thanks for looking folks! :-)

PP-work:
Increased contrast and saturation, adjusted colour tones (a cockpit window has a yellow-brown coating and must be compensated) resized sharpened and framed.

the intrepid Green Baron rushes off on a repair trip to Vienna... but not without the camera of course :-)

Superb capture my friend. Wonderful graduated tones of blue and I adore the fluffy cotton wool ball clouds. Nice work from the cockpit there my friend. Neat framing balances the image well too

TFS regards Smurfie

Hallo Hans.
Ja, sommigen noenem dat a business trip.! Je moet wat doen voor je geld, toch ?
Mooi plaatje van Wenen, nooit gezien vanuit the lucht, toch wel eens geland en opgestegen daar.
Groeten van Jan

Hoi Hans,

Mooi uitzicht hebben wij of niet??? Wenen staat er mooi in het zonnetje. Goed van je om je PS camera me te nemen.
Geen vliegangst, luchtziekte gehad in het mooiste kantoor van de wereld?

Hello Hans
Spectacular shot of the city.
Your post processing paid off as it definitely looks like the sun is shining down on it, and those clouds add beauty to the whole picture,
Superb work.

Een vogelperspectief op een stad is altijd een leuk gegeven, Hans... en Wenen vormt geen uitzondering op deze regel.
Niks op aan te merken, en zeker niet op de ws want die toont wat leuke details zoals die veer en de elektrische elementen in het glas. Een mooi geheel.
TFS enne... veel plezier met je nieuwe speeltje ;o)

A small step of waltz in Vienna and one sets out again in the other direction, Amsterdam. One weekend charged. You have seem happy with your new toy.
Impressing your POV, there is the impression to be on one of these small clouds which are hung in the sky. That the planet seems small when it's flown over thus, and so pretty. Really lucky for the meteologic conditions.
TFS us your travel.
Best regards, my friend,

Hi Hans,

I could spend every waking moment in a plane! How lucky were you to sit in the cockpit!! I love photos from planes, and this one is superb!

Just a beautiful image of Vienna; the lighting, the clouds, the entire perspective is great.

tfs, Lisa

Hello Hans
That's a great chance to be seated in the cockpit and watch through a clear and clean window. You made a grat shot with that new camera. The image is very sharp. I thought you were seated on the right wing.
Very good photo

Astonishing view and clearness.

Die sonys zijn uitstekende cameras Hans(carl zeis lenzen)!
Dat laat je ook zien met deze prachtfoto,perfect licht.

Hi Hans,

Oh, heel erg mooi. In de cockpit joh?! Dat komt de laatste tijd in Europa nog maar amper voor. Lukt je meestal nog wel in Afrika of op een lokale airline in Azie, maar hier in Europa kun je dat vaak vergeten. Mooie plaat, ondanks het beetje over-exposure in de wolken.

Groeten!
Dennis

Unique view - great way to benefit from an unusal work situation.
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hello Hans,

Fantastic view, excellent shot, well framed!
Congratulations! TFS

Hi Hans, you captured some stunning detail with the new toy. Good PP work to bring out the colours and eliminate the tinting you mention. TFS,
David
