As I try to get used to using my new camera, I am hoping for more opportunities to go out flying and taking photos. I got my chance today when I went flying with uncle in his Mooney out of St. Anthony. It was a pretty overcast day but we got airborne anyways. We first flew up to Ashton and Ashton Hill and looked for signs of wildlife, particularly wolves because they have been causing trouble killing all the elk. After flying a few passes over the Ashton Hill with the limited altitude we had, we flew down to Rexburg and did a few touch and goes before returning to St. Anthony. During the course of the flight, I took a few aerial photos and I was quite impressed with how they turned out. Here are the links:

This impromptu, preliminary photo mission was a complete success, based on how well these photos turned out. Had it been clear day, I'm pretty sure I would've gotten improved results but beggars can't be choosers. And I'm saying "photo mission" because I've got a few things planned in the near future for my aviation photography. The next thing I need to practice is photographing aircraft in motion!
