Lovely to see this PoV on Christmas Day, John. I see that you arrived just after sunset -- you family must have been so pleased.

Sorry that you have not been able to make the trek down this way this year.

Great colours and PoV

Hello John,
This is a fine picture John, the exposure is perfect, so is the composition, and you chose a great time to take the shot!
I really like your aviation photographs and I particularly admire (and envy) your skills in this area.
It's good to find you on your travels again and in apparent good spirits!
Wishing you a happy, prosperous and creative New Year!
Bill

Hoi John,
Impressive picture from a already dark landscape from above. The red tones are great and you managed with a very low shutter speed to get a realatively sharp picture. Compliments for this fine camera handling! Have great time in Montreal and wish you and your family a happy new year!

Mmm... had die andere vleugel dan maar 1 motor, John? Want op deze zitten er al twee ;o)).
Heel mooi belicht, en redelijk scherp, wat me echt verbaast op slechts 1/15 met een airspeed die toch nog minstens 300 km/u moet bedragen? Toch zijn zowel de vleugel als de grond scherp. Weird...
Heel mooi kleurenscala aan de horizon. Een ding zou ik hebben veranderd: dat oranje streepje uiterst links onder die vleugel, daar zou ik wat grijs uit het onderliggende stuk overheen clonen. Maar goed, oranje wegklonen ligt waarschijnlijk wat gevoelig in je Nederlandse hart LOL.
Conclusie: bij mij zou hij aan de muur gaan hangen!

happy new year, Cinzia

Hello John !

The Flying Dutchman is not Hans ( GreenBaron), despite he works for KLM , but you (^_^). Welcome back home.

The South Shore, Boucherville in the foreground and Longueuil with the tunnel entrance going to Island ( therefore wat seems to be a dead end bridge under the wing ).

Indeed a cool composition and good light management in these difficult light condition. Well done.
Robert

PS. Hello to Yolanda , Real and Marie and the whole family!!

Hi John,
Excellent capture...I like so much the picture taken from planes.
Excellent details and colors.
The sunset and the city lights are formidable.

Just read your note(s)

while I was listening to John Williamson.

"Hey True Blue, don't say you've gone
Say you've knocked off for a smoko
And you'll be back later on
Hey True Blue, Hey True Blue..."

Hello Sir John,

You have captured a magnificient moment of twilight onboard. The natural dividing line is well placed by adjusting a correct angle of axes using wing of the aircraft. An excellent image with innovativeness, well done my friend.

Thanks for sharing this shot.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!

Hello John, a few seconds before you were just over my head in Repentigny ! :-) The islands at the bottom of the picture are 'Les Iles de Boucherville' it's a provincial park, it's great place for photographing birds. There are over 250 wild deers on that island ! Great shot at 1/15 th my friend, well done, thanks !

Mario

Hello John,
A beautiful capture at the perfect time so that a nice sunset as well as glowing lights on the ground were caught. The horizon is tilted a little, but it is nicely disguised by the wing that crosses it.
All the best in 2008,
Karen

Beautiful and unusual scene (for me, at least...), great colors and sunset light.
Have a great New Year !

Hallo John,
eine sehr interessante Komposition. Ich mag wie die Trägefläche des Flugzeuges das Bild teilt. Wir haben einmal den Himmel und dann die Erde. Gute Arbeit.

Gruß,
Chris

Hi John,
nice one here - very good detail despite shooting through the airplane windows (which are know to not be the best for that).
you did well here :-)
