Neat shots. I did laugh a bit about the commentary at the bottom though. What makes it so challenging is only your own limitations. The piece written was based on the assumption that all of these were shot from airliners (when he mentions plexiglass, neighbors arms, etc). Some of us shoot from open cockpits or canopies. 8)

Oh, and here is my contribution, from last weekend.

That is some really nice work there. I tried my hand at Aerial Photography it is a lot harder than it looks - especially to get good results. I did it flying at 500ft over the Okavango Delta and the amount of upcurrents we hit was amazing, really affects the shot. Still yours is good as well Eric - mine can be found here: Okavango Delta - a set on Flickr (at the end).
