Re: I would...I'm very lucky and glad I don't have a 9 to 5 job! It was taken from an Airbus 321, London too Zakinthos in Greece on the 9th September 2004.

Airbus with glass floor?I take it that your office is a corporate jet or something similar I once photographed the Matterhorn from a commercial jet flying from Rome to Paris (see my photos). How did you get the directly overhead angle? Did you bank the plane?

Re: Airbus with glass floor?The picture was taken from a normal commercial airliner but taken from the port rear window of the flight deck. The flight deck windows are much larger than passenger windows and allow a more vertical field of view with a camera lens. Unlike passenger windows the flight deck windows do not have a second plastic window/shield and thus have a far less restrictive field of view.
There was also a bit of luck to taking this picture! I have tried many times before!
Looking at your picture we were also a lot closer to over head the Matterhorn that makes the angle look different.
From what I remember we did not bank the plane, and if we did then no more than a very gentle left turn.

Re: Want to catch it...Thanks! It took many years for me to be lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time, just to go schnapp!

Re: Very beautiful ...Thanks for the comments. I've been flying for a couple of decades but this is probably my best picture of the Matterhorn and it was more down to luck than skill!

Re: Super Photo!Glad you liked it! I find it's always good to see a different perspective once in a while.
