I’m always short of luck when it comes to weather during my flights. I take off and land with heavy clouds almost all the time.
Perhaps this is the price I have to pay for my frequent flights. But it doesn’t matter; I’ve got used to it, and just sleep the whole flight long.
This time was no exception: as soon as we took off for Istanbul, the view out of the window was blurred with mist.
That’s why I fastened my son, turn on the screen to show him some cartoons and fell asleep.
What can a child do on-board while his father is asleep? Get to passengers? Make stewardesses cry? It’s all highly possible.
But when I woke up in the middle of the flight, I noticed that my son was absorbed by shooting with my camera he had appropriated.
I was both interested and amused. What will he do next? Actually, Misha took this camera for the first time.
It’s Fujifilm X-E2 with 35mm lens. I took it to my trip to Armenia and almost all pictures for my travel notes were made with it.
We were approaching Istanbul, when a splendid view became visible through the clouds.
One would expect a child to enjoy the view. But not my son. Misha was taking pictures through the window with great enthusiasm.
The clouds were beautiful. With deep cavities and dramatic peaks.
I was fascinated with the view and was trying to grasp all beautiful details.
And there was no need in taking pictures, when a young photographer was sitting next to me.
So I decided to have a rest and entrust him the whole process. It was more like an experiment. I wondered what would come out of this.
Our captain made several circles around Istanbul, allowing us to enjoy the splendid view even more.
After arrival, I downloaded photos to my telephone via Wi-Fi, and now I’m writing this post and eating tasty Turkish baklava.
It’s somehow strange to illustrate the post on my blog by photos that were taken by someone else. But I think, my son won’t be upset.
And I’ve got several days to enjoy one of my most favourite cities ahead!
See you in Istanbul.
You son is very talented young photographer, all photographs are engaging and well composed. Well done!
Thank you so much
