Beautiful shot. What was your shutter speed here? But I'd hate to sit next to the propeller even with noise-canceling headphones...

here’s a screenshot of one from a few years ago that I forgot to post in the thread, but it’s only recently that I realized swiping up from the bottom displays the metadata for the photo

shutter speed (bottom right) that almost froze the prop blades was ~1/2000 sec

Technically these shots are taken from below the wing

Olympic Mountains with a lot of haze and smoke


slightly different aspect


Oregon coast


more Oregon coast


not sure where


waiting for the AirTrain to the Grand Hyatt (yeah, technically “above the wing” even though not from the jet )

Stunning sunset in Medford yesterday evening. I was connecting through there on my way to SEA. First time there ever. The approach was stunning with the mountainous terrain.
