Overhead Photography

Sizzler

Its been a while since Ive taken a photo...I dont think I ever tried taking photos of aircraft at anything over FL 50

Amazing at the quality of photos that can be taken now though, the camera used to take this for example, is the lens the size of your average car

That photo was takin from another aircraft,the comment box should answer it,but from ground level a 500mm lens should yield good quality photos of fly-overs.
