Airplane window shots with G9X II
10

I still get a big kick looking out the window while flying and if the light is decent I'll attempt to get a shot (or twenty). I feel less a conspicuous using a compact vs an ILC or SLR, and the G9X fits that bill nicely.

The shots are rarely spectacular, as the airplane's windows are usually tinted and dirty and there are frequently reflections to contend with. But, shooting RAW allows for adding back a bit of the contrast that was chewed up by the less than crystal clear window.

Below are a few shots from a trip last month. Does anyone else use their PowerShot to snap photos while flying?

Taken as our plane was taxiing for take off from SFO

Taken while taxiing at CDG in Paris

I think this is an Airbus facility near Toulouse France

Thought it was interesting to see our plane's shadow on the field as we descended for landing
