Not long ago, I flew to Delhi at night.
The view of the stars descended on the land was utterly breathtaking!
I tried capturing a few shots.
I had a struggle suppressing the reflection of ambient cabin light in the window panels. Still, the flashing strobe lamp caused some annoyance!

Hey @C_T ,

Thanks for sharing your photos. Since they are your first aerial night photos, a little blur and reflections are acceptable so don’t worry! I don’t have a good camera phone so whenever I travel at night, I don’t even try to capture the city from the sky. I should get a new phone. :slight_smile:

With that said, how was your stay in Delhi? What did you do?

Night views over a lit up city when flying high in the dark night sky are always spectacular. Great snaps @C_T thanks for sharing.

Hello @MoniDi

Thanks for your encouragement

Yes, I am aware of the blur.
I tried to capture the scene through Pixel-3 Xl, using both the regular and the night vision mode.
I am still not able to figure out auto why the motion auto-focus did not work and hope to find out a solution soon.

Delhi was an intermediate stop & I shall be sharing the further photo journey soon.

Those are great shots, @C_T ! I think you did a good job compensating for the reflection of ambient light in the cabin.

Hello @john_e_w

Thanks for your appreciation.
Nevertheless, the use of motion auto-focus feature would have further enhanced that.
