Flight Control Panel In Abstract [Contest Winner Pool November 2004 Man Made Things]
Uploaded: November 22, 2004 05:27:11
PERMISSION TO PHOTOGRAPH WAS GRANTED. On a flight from Tampa to Miami, I noticed there was no door to the pilot's section of the plane. It was a small Beech aircraft, that holds only about 30 or 40 passengers. Anyway, it was dark, so the instrument panel was very bright and colorful. I set my camera to 30 seconds at f/3.5 and shot. During the shooting, I tilted my camera up once then down. If you look closely, you can see the numbers and shapes of the panel elements.

very interesting, I'm glad you didn't get caught... #931809Paula Showen November 22, 2004
Of course I asked the co-pilot forTo confirm, I contacted the airline and asked again. They said that since there was no flash and no detail in the image, then the photo is perfectly fine.
Glad you mentioned that, Colleen as I forgot to post that information.
