FOTOGALERII: Millega tegelevad piloodid lennu ajal? Näiteks pildistavad tormist taevalaotust

Reisilennukite pilootidel on lennu ajal päris palju vaba aega, kui sadade inimeste elu eest vastutamise kohta saab nii öelda. umbes 90 protsenti lennuajast teeb töö ära autopiloot. Mida sel ajal piloodid teevad?

Kes seda teab, aga vähemalt ühe piloodi puhul on see teada. Lõuna-Ameerikas elav Boeing 767 piloot Santiago Borja pildistab.

Borja hobiks on lennukist avanevate vaadete pildistamine, eriti meeldib talle pildistada tormist taevast. 2016. aastal sai ta National Geographicu aasta loodusfoto konkursil kolmanda koha. Tema fotosid on avaldanud Washington Post, AOPA Magazine ja teised meediaväljaanded.

Borja kirjutab oma veebilehel, et enne piloodiks õppimist tudeeris ta Ecuadoris arvutiasjandust ja töötas tarkvaraarendajana. Ta on teinud pilootidele mitu mobiilirakendust.

Fotograafiaga tegeleb ta viimased viis aastat. Siin on mõned tema fotod. Vaata fotosid ka Borja veebilehelt.

#ThroughTheWindow. Shooting through the window has its own set of complications. Not always is it possible to avoid reflections from inside lighting. Many people have asked me how do I avoid them. Most of the time it is a matter of positioning the lens against the window or finding the right corner with minimal reflection. Exposure time is also a factor. But more than once, like in this shot, you just can’t avoid to get some reflections and fading from the thick windows

Can you see the road? #Isolated storm under an overcast layer of clouds. There is enough light from the storm to see some features on the terrain.

#Daylight Although not as attractive as night time storms, daylight storms have their beauty. Plus you get a lot more time to admire them as you fly by them. It has always captured my attention how all the storms no matter how big, they all stop rising at the tropopause, the change in the temperature lapse rate makes it impossible for storms (and aircraft) to go beyond this limit. – #storm #stormPortraits #lightning #santiagoborja #nikon #d750 #aerial #pilotview #pilot #pilotlife #instagramaviation #aviation #aviationgeek #avgeek #instaaviation #travel #picoftheday #lovemyjob #plane #flight #boeing #sky #fly #aviationphotography #BoseAviation #WhyIFly

Far Away – This photograph was captured zooming into a very distant storm. At the focal distance I used to capture this storm I’m surprised I was able to get decent sharpness and little blur. Can you guess the focal distance (zoom) I used?⠀ ⠀ -⠀ ⠀ #storm #stormPortraits #lightning #santiagoborja #nikon #d750 #aerial #pilotview #pilot #pilotlife #instagramaviation #aviation #aviationgeek #avgeek #instaaviation #travel #picoftheday #lovemyjob #plane #flight #boeing #sky #fly #aviationphotography #BoseAviation #WhyIFly #flywithaopa⠀ ⠀ _⠀ ⠀ Museum Quality prints are available on my website http://www.santiagoborja.com/product/prints/

Sunset Storm – I got so excited to get this shot! I’d been trying to get a sunset storm for a really long time but the particular light conditions make it very difficult to get it right and sharp. This time over the caribbean we departed early and tailwinds allowed us to get just on time to fly by this awesome storm which was not very active but nevertheless gave me the chance to capture this great scene. – #storm #stormPortraits #lightning #santiagoborja #nikon #d750 #aerial #pilotview #pilot #pilotlife #instagramaviation #aviation #aviationgeek #avgeek #instaaviation #travel #picoftheday #lovemyjob #plane #flight #boeing #sky #fly #aviationphotography #BoseAviation #WhyIFly #flywithaopa
