everything you are carrying is securely clipped to your body or otherwise secured. As an
aside, it??™ll be cold in the cabin, so dress accordingly.
?– Be sure not to lean any part of the camera or lens against the airplane (such as the
window), because the vibration from the engine will ruin your photos.
?– Set your camera??™s focus on ???infinity,??? since you??™ll be shooting at subjects that are very
far away. If your camera doesn??™t have a manual focus control, then it almost certainly has
a Landscape exposure mode (often one of the ???scene??? settings). One of the things that
Landscape does is set your camera to focus at infinity, so that??™s a good substitute.
