Skimming the Trees

Fresh Air Aviation is a charter company that serves Beaver Island. This is the plane we flew off the island where I was able to sit in the co-pilot seat.
Cool shot!

Cooool.

wow - how exciting to be somewhere that's only accessible by sea and air. Great photo.

A classicly composed image that works. Main subject on the thirds, a moving object with room to travel into, a dark base. On top of that a well chosen shutter speed that showes movement in the propeller and good processing.

@bob65 Thanks Bob! I appreciate your analysis as this is exactly what I was trying to do -- propeller motion, rule of thirds, etc. I took about 6 shots as the plane approached and this one seemed to have the most to work with before tweaking through a crop and then enhancing the details a bit.

Love small planes. You really get a feeling of flight.

Beaver Island, MI? Fantastic shot!

@kathiecb I'm such a white knuckle flier, but the small planes' pilots have been wonderful at helping me get over the fear a bit. And taking photos keeps me very distracted from the idea of falling out of the sky!

@olivetreeann Flying over is great, flying off is sad. I want to fly over the Mackinaw Bridge someday!
June 5th, 2014  
That must have been a great experience. Nice capture of this plane coming in.
June 5th, 2014  
Cool shot. I bet it's an interesting difference on getting in one of these compared to the international planes at the airport!
