Photography from a glider??

Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this. My wife gave me a

glider flight for my recent 40th birthday, and I was hoping someone

could help with how to take the best pictures. I have a digital p&s

that I will take, but I will also have my Canon Eos50e (Elan IIe). I

was thinking of just taking my 28-105 with a polarizer and a hood,

as I can't imagine I will want to be too loaded down. Also I was

thinking of a negative film (eg Reala) so I don't need to worry too

much about exposure.

 

My main aim is to have fun, so I don't want to get too bogged down

trying to take master photos!! Any help appreciated.

Graham,

 

Here is a link to some shots I took last fall from a ride in an ultralight.

I think there are a few more aerial shots on page 3 as well. I shot these with a D1x and 35-70 f/2.8 (eff 52-105mm). It was an open cockpit plane. I was looking for sunset shots and didn't get what I wanted in this outing.
