Parsed
I recently had the good fortune of taking to the skies again with the great company of Aaron and Zack for a 90 minute flight around the San Francisco Bay Area, San Mateo County, Santa Cruz and Monterey. Conditions were a little choppy despite the good weather and clear visibility, and the constant dodging of little aircraft every few minutes reminded me that the airspace around the Bay Area is generally very busy.
Even after living in San Francisco for what is now going onto 6 years, I’m still easily enthralled by the variety of landscapes that surround my adopted city. Seeing it from a zippy single engine plane heightens the awareness even further. Speaking of choppy – do not look through a telephoto lens whilst flying in a bumpy plane if you value keeping your breakfast where it belongs: in your body.
Having said that, I’m looking forward to the next opportunity to get there and gaze at the world below. All photography benefits from seeing things from a different perspective, and this is easily one of the more unique vantage points I have had the pleasure of photographing from.
