Air Fair Fun

Ok, I hope everyone of you had a great weekend... well, let me tell you, I had a super weekend myself; I spend all day long with my wife and children doing fun stuff and visiting my brother and his family. Yeap, totally relaxed and family oriented weekend.

Now, I was wondering about what photographs I could share with all of you this week, and since I just had Bridal sessions (and all of my brides requested PRIVACY) I will not post any of them here today, but after they get married.

I found an activity I did for my photography, where a friend of mine, Matt and I went to fly in his Cessna plane about a month ago... I had found that experience fascinating, and worth of taking a closer look of those photographs.

We are planning to go again some time during this winter, so we can have more photographs from some other areas from the air; but, we will see if we can do it again.

In the mean time I want to share this images with you, and I'll explain what were we doing when I took them... so seat back and relax because you are now going to experience a nice ... experience.

This is the plane that Matt has... is a two passenger (as you are going to realize from other photographs).

This is my friend, Matt, coming out from the plane,while making sure that everything is perfect for flying. Those clouds in the sky that you see are leaving the area, so we had a beautiful sunset for our photographs. He is a pilot by profession and a photographer by heart.

Now, this shot shows, once we were in the air (as you can see it too) I turn around my seat and this is what I saw... there was nothing else behind me !!! The plane was small and all shaky, but sturdy enough to take us around and back with safety.

Ok, This is Matt, the owner of the plane, amateur photographer and excellent pilot. I took his silouhette agains the sunsetting sun behind the mountain in the corner of his window. We had the mountain in front of us while we were cruising the air... to be honest with you ... it was a breath taking experinece; it was my first time flying in a Cessna and, even though I was a little aprehensive at first, a few minutes after I was all enjoying it.
And as the last image I will share in this part of my blog, I want you to see ME !!! he, he, he; here I am with Matt in the cockpit trying to have a shot of both of us. I think it turned out good enough. I am wearing the head phones that we use to communicate to each other and to listen the air control tower.

Now that you saw my experience in the air, I want to invite you to see the photographs I took in this event and I have for exhibition. They are in my web site, in the Fine Art section.
