3000m over Sibiu

Hi Remus,
Thanks for taking the plunge and posting images. The first step is always the toughest. Aerial photography is quite a big step. You have made some images that are sharp and exposed OK, but frankly they are a bit typical for aerial shots and look a bit like snapshots. Rules of composition remain the same even up high. An interesting / unique subject positioned in the frame to generate even more interest, with supporting elements in the foreground and backgrounds. Oh, and good quality light is paramount just like with any landscape photography. So shooting in early morning and late afternoon still applies. Sorry to be a bit harsh, but having these thoughts in your head will get you much better shots next time. If your flying and shooting there is a lot to deal with and it's tough to focus on the photography so I think it's always better to have a pilot that can listen to where you want to position the aircraft to get that interesting shot. Even on commercial flights you can get interesting shots at the right time of sunrise / sunset. The last thing I want to accomplish is make folks feel bad...so I hope these comments are taken in the spirit they are intended...to help you improve and make interesting images.
I look forward to seeing more images!

I'd have to agree with Michael - although sharp the images don't really do much for me, apart from maybe the last one (which kinda looks like it's been shot on expired film). Had these been shot in the golden hour for example it may have added more of a glow to some of the pics. I could imagine the second shot lending itself well to shooting at a different time of day. Not being negative just my opinion, technically the shots are very well done.
