From My Window Seat

This was taken at dusk through the double panes of glass by my
window seat on the plane. I had a polarizer filter on the
lens, which I think explains the odd colors in the sky,
although I don't know why. But this is pretty much how it
came out of the camera, no crop, no adjustments, just a little
Neat Image.

Hi, nice picture!! I've seen some of these light-shows at dusk from the flightdeck. The reflection in a large volume of air or a combination of water-reflection can do the trick. Just like a rainbow in the air, light is spread into multiple colours. You can see a similar effect of a sunset colour-show in the air on the Spain-Denimair gallery of me. NIce photos , I'll be back soon.

Love it. And your bevel treatment is a perfect complement.

I looked at the image and tried to determine what it was before reading the caption. I like the scale of the image.

Guest		30-Apr-2005 07:25
Amazing shades of blue in this image, and your composition is superb! :)

Now this I really like. Absolute minimum. I used my polarizer through a plane window and got the same kind of rainbow effect. I forget what makes it do that.

Karen Leaf		30-Apr-2005 03:38
Wow, whatever the reason this is a stunner, I don't think even you could have come up with those colors. Getting my vote too.

Guest		29-Apr-2005 21:23
Oooooh, this is very nice! A beautiful capture!

Neat image indeed. it's always fun to pass the time on long flights.

Very beautiful Gary, next time I will ask to put you at the corridor.

I love the colors in this one, too!

Guest		29-Apr-2005 14:51
This is a great shot! Abstract but not really. The colours are wonderful... [vote]

Chuck Inglefield		29-Apr-2005 14:51
Very cool.

Guest		29-Apr-2005 13:52
This is great. It´s abstract and minimalistic!! Great composition and execution!!

Excellent shot!!! Josy

excellent image... I think that is actually the bokeh of the lens, depending on how close that engine was, it may have caused the background to get thrown out. I am figureing you were pretty close because at 55mm the Frame is full top to bottom wise. Great shot.

Excuse me sir - we do not allow photographs of aviation-related items anymore on this airline. Could you please hand over the camera? Seriously, a friend of mine was accosted by marshalls a few months ago over having taken a photo out of the window - no joke! It's come down to that. But that said, this is a very interesting effect with the sky due to the polarizer - only thing I can think of is the window itself had polarization in it or at least filtering for UV which reacted with the circ pol filter. Very cool effect.

Very nice, indeed! This is so easily common view and you have made it so beautiful, actually. Wow!

Guest		29-Apr-2005 10:11
very cool colours and wonderfully composed.

Guest		29-Apr-2005 08:26
Such Power !

Chris Sofopoulos		29-Apr-2005 06:52
Beautiful capture Gary. Your seat was perfect because the angle of the image is perfect too:)

JeremyGood		29-Apr-2005 06:26
That is so cool. It's comforting that the engine is there when you look out the window. Vote.

Love the colour Gary. I like the window seat, but hate the crick in my neck the next day :>)

Guest		29-Apr-2005 05:47
Love the color and feel of this shot.

Guest		29-Apr-2005 05:35
That mysterious blue space is very different. Nice shot.

Guest		29-Apr-2005 05:20
Awesome shot...love the color and the feel to it. The empty space works very well here.

Robin Reid		29-Apr-2005 04:29
Excellent shot you old jet setter you!

This is a really neat image. I couldn't imagine what it was until I read your narrative.
