That's a pretty cool trick! That logo is well known outside Germany too ;)

Never seen it, don't know the logo, but I do enjoy the images.

Thomas, nice image, especially with the moon!

Googled "Flogos".  The results are fascinating!

Thanks, Thomas!  I had to crop to 1/2 of the original frame to "magnify" the moon and the jet a bit.

Sunrise, Cascade Lake, Idaho.  The plane is a Beechcraft Bonanza.  Fuji X-E2 and Fuji 14mm lens, shot at f/4.5.

Great photo! You must have a really good camera.

A small airplane has just alighted from the local airstrip and banks over the 13th Century Heddal Stave Church, the largest remaining of its kind in Norway.

I'm fairly new to the Zeiss lenses, but I continue to be impressed.

This is the 15mm Distagon on a D810.  I applied a graduated neutral density filter in PS (NIK collection filter) to bring out the sky.  Otherwise, this is pretty much as shot.  To my eye, it almost looks like some sort of composite.  Depth?  I don't know.

Great photo! You must have a really good camera.

Jakov,

I am a private (not commercial) pilot.  I fly a single engine plane for a number of trips around the U.S.  I have been flying for 31 years.  Along with photography, it's one of my passions.   We shot video out of my plane (cargo doors removed) for air-to-air shots of about 100 planes when I was producing a series on aviation.  Had a ball doing that.
