Fantastic in every sense. I love your affinity with shape and texture in your photographs. I particularly admire the sunset over Addis Ababa and the shot of Greenland.
These are brilliant - I meant to comment on the last set... How do you get them as clear while shooting, presumably (!) through a window? Do you need to edit them very much?
And what camera are you using?
Also, I may need your help on hotels in faraway places, sometime soon - tips on cheap\safe\convenient places...
The only Photoshopped picture of these is the Addis Ababa one but that was only to erase some of the flare, which is particularly difficult to avoid when shooting through scratched aeroplane windows. It was too good a picture to let it be spoiled by bits of stray light, but I kept some of the flare to the left of the sun because it throws your eye back into the rest of the picture. Flare is a pain in the ass, when photographing the sun at the edge of fast-moving clouds or on an ever-changing horizon you have to capture it when it's not too weak and not too bright which, when you're doing 500mph, gives you no time to plan a shot's exposure. I have plenty of well-composed photos of the sun that have too much flare that I wasn't quick enough to avoid

No, zoom back out and look sideways at the bit I showed-tilt your head to the left. Pete's photo is taken looking west, ie. west is "up"; the map is oriented with north as up.

It took me a while, but in the end I figured out it was this bit of the squiggles...
