City - Somewhere between London and Chicago State - Country -
About
Just returned from a two week business trip that, for the first time, got me around the world in a single trip: Chicago, Tokyo, Seoul, Daejon, Singapore, London, Berlin, London, and back to Chicago. It was a tight schedule during the local work days plus a second work day at night doing email and conference calls with the US. But I got out a little and here is some of what I saw ...
Inevitably, flying around the world makes you spend a lot of time in airplanes. In my case, I traveled a lot at night so that not very many opportunities existed to take photos. My windows were also always pretty scratched up, dirty, or hazy, not a good start for photos. This is the second picture through the window right at the wing of the Boeing 777 on my way back from London to Chicago. The massive wing of that plane is very impressive and the perfect center position of the window intrigued me to take this picture against the blue sky.
Picture details: Aperture: f9, shutter: 1/320s, focal length: 44mm, no flash, no tripod.
Congratulations on the front page! We made it thanks to your commentary. You and I seem to fall into the "many views and few comments" category. Still this is a great shot and super clear and sharp. I want to see some good shots from your next trip next to the window.
