Hello all,
I am going to Greece this summer and I want to have some exquisite cockpit/cabin/wing shots. I have taken a few before, however many of them turned out blurry and not very good. Is there any advice to taking these kinds of pictures.
BTW I own a Canon EOS Rebel 2000
Thanx in advance

Hi,
If you want to get good cabin shots make sure you use your flash. Don't rely on the interior cabin lights or you camera will select a slow shutter speed (if on program mode) which will give you a blurry shot.

It all depends what you want to accomplish.
For Flight deck shots, flash is an absolute no no, unless the light conditions are really poor then I would make an exception.
Most of my flight deck shot were done hand held. I don't know if you have a steady hand if not, if not look for something to lean on or bring a mono or tripod.
Cabin shots, depends on the light, I have done both.
With and w/o flash, again it depends how steady and still you can hold your camera.

If you have to shoot a dark cabin or cockpit, use a tripod. If there is enough natural light or sufficient cabin light, shoot without a tripod. My cabin shots on Airliners.net were shot with a P&S camera and came out fine.

I am most interested in Wing shots. What settings should I use for my Canon EOS Rebel 2000, when on approach, decent, takeoff, cruise when looking out the window.
Thanx

Use the P setting. It will do everything automatically. Don't try the auto-mode with the green square because the flash might pop up and spoil the photograph.

Here's a couple of shots I made in flight aboard an MD-11. The first one was without a flash, and the second one was with the flash (I asked permission first, of course).

Should I get a camera with a flash?
