Recipe for a Aerial Photograph

This year I've tried to combine my interest in flying and photography with some aerial pictures of our beautiful region. Every time I go it is a different experience and I never know how the pictures will come out. I spend the flight with my head sticking out the window shooting pictures. Composition and framing are secondary. One of the most exciting parts is getting back on the ground to see what I've got! I am still playing with exposure, lighting and lenses to get the right recipe. So far the most important ingredient is luck!
