Your eyes are playing tricks on you! 🌬️✈️ Watch these windmill blades closely—they look like they're bending in the wind, but it’s actually just an optical illusion from the curve of the plane window glass! Did I catch you off guard, or did you know about this aviation trick? Let me know in the comments! 👇 #OpticalIllusion #AviationGeek #WindowSeat #BonnieLeeTravels from Bonnie Lee Travels

Hi, I'm Bonnie Lee! Join me as I share my travel stories and adventures. Discover the best cruise spots with insider tips and honest reviews. Get ready for exciting adventure s and stunning travel videos that will take your breath away. I love speaking, writing, mentoring on all things travel. Where did I come from? Rewind back to 1994.... I saw an ad, “Become a Travel Agent for $99”. How hard can that be I thought? My first office was small. How small? The front closet of our home. In 2017 Travel Leaders honored us with their two top awards, the “Golden Legacy Award” and “Agency of the Year”. That same year our national conference was the largest ever. We hosted 51 travel partners, and 225 agents. With sales north of $65 million and the growth of our agent network reaching 2,000+, it was time to make succession a priority. Today, I have found my place in the world, where I hope to Explore | Educate | Inspire travel professionals and travelers alike!

I recently shot the Milky Way from a plane window. I've put together a short reel on Instagram, in case you're interested, to see how some of the moving parts fit together, and how it took 96 shots to get one keeper at 37,000 ft in the air.

If you are interested, I'd be grateful if you could watch until the end and give me a like, because Instagram's algorithm laps up things like that.

Above the Clouds, Below the Dawn

Window seats earn their keep on flights like this one. We were somewhere north of Lisbon, climbing north towards Ireland, when the sun decided to put on a show off the right-hand side of the aircraft. The horizon went from a deep, almost bruised red, up through that signature aviation orange, and finally settled into a clean morning blue at the top of the frame. That single wispy cloud hanging across the middle felt almost too well placed — like it had been brushed in afterwards. Shooting […]

I was looking through my shots from the plane and found another keeper. This was shot 3 minutes later above western Azerbaijan.

I used #DxOPhotoLab9 to edit this, and its denoise worked like a charm. It certainly came out better than the #Lightroom edit of the same pic.

This was shot as a single frame, handheld for 2 seconds.

📍 37,009 ft over western Azerbaijan.
📷 OM System OM-1 II • OM System 8 mm f/1.8 Fisheye Pro.
⏱️ ISO 25600 • 2 seconds • f/1.8.

After spending many hours over weeks checking flight routes, moon phases, and the movement of the cosmos throughout the night, I worked out that around 00:00 GMT would be the best time for me to try and shoot the Milky Way from a flight I'd booked.

📍 37,000 ft in the air over northern Armenia.
📷 OM System OM-1 II • OM System 8 mm f/1.8 Fisheye Pro.
⏱️ ISO 25600 • 16 seconds (2 seconds × 8 stacked) • f/1.8.
