Plane & Pilot proudly announces the finalists for this year’s Plane & Pilot Your Flying World Photo Contest. Finalists were selected from among hundreds of entries, and while there wasn’t a bad shot in the bunch, these images shone through.
And as usual, there was a wide range of subject matter in this year’s battle of the airborne lenses, with everything from bucolic panoramas of natural beauty to studies of the finer details of the flying machines we love so much.
Enjoy these outstanding submissions, but be sure to tune in next week when we announce the winners of this year’s Plane & Pilot Your Flying World Photo Contest!
âThrough the early 1970âs, Torrey Pines was renowned for its sailplane soaring. The gliderport has long since been taken over by hang gliders and paragliders, but watching the sailplanes launch with a winch, and indefinitely âride the waveâ coming off the Pacific ocean was inspiring.â Camera Used: Minolta point-and-shoot camera. Lens focal length unknown. Exposure Data: Unknown. This shot was captured on Kodachrome film and scanned to digital.
