Fingers Crossed for the Photo Competition


Time to update - Saw a photograph competition on fuelmyblog.com where the subject had to have been shot through a window but you could interpret "through the window" virtually anyway you wanted. Well, seeing all my aerial shots were shot through a window of a Fokker 50 airplane, time to take a punt and enter - but which one ? In the end I decided on the image you see. I still think it looks more like an oil painting than a photograph but a photo it truly is, shot high above Cashens Well, Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia. Some of my other shots also look more like oil paintings than photos and I hope that somebody else sees this too. It would great if I could find somebody who appreciates these particular images as I do - and is not a friend or relative, who all think they're great. Fingers crossed for the competition. Why is the World so beautiful from the sky if we were not meant to see it ?

Was it from an aircraft? Looks like it was shot from space :-)
If you are interested in such photos, you should check out the book "Earth from the air:365 days".
