Passengers always take the same kind of photographs. I can’t really blame them, I do the same when I’m the one holding the camera. I already posted about this trend when I found two very similar pictures of propeller spinner, made by two different passengers on different days.
Another very common type of picture is the over or under wing shot, through the side window. Such pictures give a nice perspective of the wing in front of the landscape. The wing’s presence also proves that the picture has been taken from an aircraft and not from a sightseeing point.
The following seven pictures are the perfect illustration of the kind of photographs I’m talking about. By the way, can you identify these seven aircraft ?

I’m sorry I did not know about the types of aircraft but beautiful picture.
Funnily enough, when I submitted some photographs from the Saratoga to an aviation mag in the US, the editor commented that she really loved the fact that I included the wing in the shot as many photographers would crop it out.
