As the planes were overflying at 34,000 to 38.000 feet and it was hazy, it was difficult get right as the tripod wouldn't let me get the right angle. I had to ramp up the ISO and hand hold the camera. This is the best of a bad lot. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/CoVid-19/CV19_American+Airlines+Dreamliner+at+38_000+feet.jpg.html It can be seen larger, and you can see that I need to clean my sensor. This is a 1900 pixels crop of the 6000 pixels original, and can be seen larger which is the actual sensor view if that makes sense. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/CoVid-19/CV19_Close+up+American+Airlines+Dreamliner+at+38_000+feet.jpg.html Any hints on how to take effective aeroplane shots when they're 7.2 miles above your head will be gratefully received Douglas p.s. I'll have to clean that sensor again!
