Palouse waves at sunset.

Last week, I got the opportunity to go for an evening flight over the Palouse. It was fun and I got a couple of good shots. A couple of things to remember when shooting from an airplane.

1. Some planes have tinted windows. Using a polarizing filter will exacerbate this. If this is the case, shooting opposite the sun can help.
2. Shooting at sunset will require a low shutter speed and high iso. This is a problem when the air is rough. Fortunately this flight was very calm.
3. Moving around in a small plane to get into position for a shoot make you more clumsy that usual so having a row of seats to your self is helpful.
