This post is a continuation of Aerial Panoramas 1. These are more pictures taken out of plane windows. I'm going to use the same introduction to this post because I am lazy.

If the lighting is good and the window isn't too scratched up, you can take pretty good pictures out of a plane window. I'm sure someone else has done this but I've never seen images out the windows of airplanes stitched into panoramas. Here are a few that I've taken. I'll probably post up most of the others tomorrow. While planes are traveling at a few hundred mph, the distances to objects are enough that you can still take your time when snapping the pictures to stitch together. The exception to that rule is right around takeoff or landing. One of the pictures here is flying over Sacramento around sunrise and you can see that the panorama is distorted. I waited too long between pictures...

Just click on the pictures to see slightly larger versions.

Over Sacramento












On the image below the plane was low to the ground so I wasn't taking pictures fast enough.











This is over the Great Salt Lake. The reddish color is supposedly due to unicellular organisms that live in the salty water.
