While not a Sony, or even a mirrorless camera, the moment a pilot–Santiago Borja— captured is incredible. It was taken at the moment of a lighting flash:
A strong, roiling updraft; a smooth, flat anvil; and the overshooting top — all features of intense developing thunderstorms.
And over the Pacific en route to South America. Borja is a first officer for LATAM Ecuador Airlines. He took the photo with a Nikon D750, south of Panama from the cockpit of a Boeing 767-30.
Borja said:
Since I carry my camera everywhere, I started trying to capture storms and in-flight experiences some time ago combining my two greatest passions: flying and photography.
A couple takeaways from Borja…take you camera everywhere too, and it doesn’t matter what brand it is, as long as you get the picture.
…My daily shooter is Sony a9 II with a vertical grip and various Sony lenses attached like the FE 20mm F1.8. Find more gear recommendations in our shop. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
