(This is a video, click on the image to play it.)

I shot this with my Olympus 770SW pointed out the window during a cross country flight and landing in Boston. The camera can sustain shooting at about 1fps in its lowest resolution mode, so I let it rip for as long as I could hold down the release before losing all feeling in my finger.

Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate. It starts with a nice view somewhere over MA, then dips into the clouds before emerging over a very bumpy approach to BOS. There are a few missing frames from when I had to reinvigorate my hand or the turbulence knocked the camera about too much.

So, this is a first try – I’m going to perfect this eventually with a better system for holding the camera against the window, and next time I’ll use a camera with a locking cable release (which my Olympus can’t use). And longer exposures to get some motion blur in there would be nice, too.
