点评:I wanted to shoot for myself some of the fantastic abstract aerial images I have seen other photographers produce that are iconic to Iceland. Other photographers I’d spoken to have had to take many flights to get the lighting they wanted. Atlantsflug was very flexible for me in their scheduling. Although the weather was going to be “good” on the original day I’d set for my Custom Photo Flight, a day before the flight they allowed me to move it to another day, where the weather and lighting for photography were expected to be “great” – and indeed it was.
Before the flight, I showed my pilot (Thor) examples of the images I was interested in capturing. He did an excellent job in charting our course to put all those scenes, and more, in front of my camera, from a variety of angles.
I chartered the whole plane just for me, so I had both back seats to myself – thus I could easily switch from shooting out the opened left or right windows, as desired. My views were unobstructed by window glare, distortions, wing struts, or landing gears. Mostly I wanted to shoot straight down, and Thor accommodated me by gently banking the plane as needed. As a former pilot myself, I appreciated his skills and safety consciousness.
Thor was very knowledgeable and communicative during the flight, being sure that I was getting the images I was after. I highly recommend Atlantsflug if your objective is to get the best images possible of the spectacular, out-of-this-world aerial scenery that Iceland offers up.
翻译:我想为自己拍摄一些我见过的其他摄影师制作的冰岛标志性的奇妙抽象航空图像。我采访过的其他摄影师不得不乘坐多次航班才能获得他们想要的灯光。 Atlantsflug 的日程安排对我来说非常灵活。尽管我为自定义照片飞行设定的原定日期天气会“很好”,但在飞行前一天,他们允许我将其移至另一天,预计拍摄时的天气和照明将达到最佳状态。 “太棒了”——确实如此。
在飞行之前,我向我的飞行员(雷神)展示了我有兴趣捕捉的图像示例。他出色地规划了我们的路线,将所有这些场景以及更多场景从不同的角度呈现在我的镜头前。
我专门为我包租了整架飞机,所以我有两个后座——这样我就可以根据需要轻松地从打开的左窗或右窗拍摄切换。我的视野不受窗户眩光、扭曲、机翼支柱或起落架的阻碍。大多数情况下,我想直接向下射击,托尔根据需要轻轻地倾斜飞机来适应我。作为一名前飞行员,我很欣赏他的技能和安全意识。
托尔在飞行过程中知识渊博,善于沟通,确保我得到了我想要的图像。如果您的目标是拍摄冰岛壮观、超凡脱俗的空中风景的最佳图像,我强烈推荐 Atlantsflug。
