Yes – amazing pic. This is a good time of the year to get these.
@RobertL18C: thanks. I think the horizon is strange and not straight. Does anyone know how to correct that and what in which software?
I hate to be negative but AeroPlus I much prefer you other pictures than that last one. For my taste, way too much photoshop /contrast boosting, I prefer the more natural looking ones you have, such as Africa etc.
I feel the sky might have been beautiful, but I sadly I can’t “see it”
It looks like you used a very wide angle on that photo. There is a correction function in Photoshop CS6 called Adaptive Lens Correction in the “Filters” menu. I tried to play with it and got this:
Tried to paste a Youtube video showing it in action, but the link gets broken by the forum software. But if you search for Adaptive Lens Correction, you’ll find some.

Regarding reality, I too don’t photoshop/lightroom stuff other than to reduce the effects of airborne haze, or crop, but I know a professional photographer (he’s on here) who says, basically, “there is no reality” and any amount of manipulation is ok if the result is attractive. Whether you like it or not, most photo competitions are won by heavily photoshopped images… I know because I came 3rd place in one, ending up with only a 2-day Lightroom course
Maybe somebody should start a thread on what cameras people use and how they process the stuff.

Excellent!
@Aeroplus, is that without any processing? Seems still artificial for me (But i’ve had a few without photoshop that people thought I tweaked)
Since a lot of contributions today, some old ones (well, one is on the way back from my last trip to paris). Crappy quality as just saved from facebook
“Pilot’s glory” I think it is called:
