CAPTURE NEW HORIZONS

I suppose I am very lucky with my job as the Media Delegate for the FIA World Endurance Championship as it enables me to travel to a lot of exciting places. However, I have to be honest I love heading home but  with long haul destinations comes the downside of spending a lot of time at airports and on a plane.   The flight back from Shanghai to London on Sunday took 12 hours and I broke up the boredom by using the Fuji X100 to shoot the scenery out of the window.   The mountains of Eastern Russia  at 39,000 feet   The X100 is ideal for this as it is small, has a moderately wide angle lens (35mm in full frame terms) and a silent shutter so it doesn't attract the attention of the cabin crew. The policy for take off and landing is to switch off all electronic equipment but how a camera is going to affect the aircraft systems is beyond me and as a former RAF engineer I don't believe it can. Anyway here are some images and videos from my 12 hours trip bac...

I spend a lot of time flying when working on the FIA World Endurance Championship but I still like to sit and look out of the window when travelling to these faraway places at 35,000 feet.  This morning I woke up for breakfast on the American Airlines flight from Dallas to Sao Paulo and was greeted with this fantastic scene out of the aircraft window.  The sun was still below the horizon and the reds and oranges were reflected in the edges of the aircraft wing and engine housing giving me the opportunity to grab this image on the Fuji X100.
