March 6, 2014 · Nancy Young

There are lots of aviation geeks out there with telephoto lenses which allow them to get fabulous photography from up in the sky. Aircraft images are so gorgeous and romantic. Planes impress with their majesty, power, and capability to fly like birds touching the sky.

Wikipedia says that ‘aviation photography is the act of taking images of aircraft, either in flight, or on the ground’. Thus, all pictures taken from the air or the pictures of airplanes of any kind can be considered as aviation photographs. There are four types of aviation photography exist such as air-to-air, ground-to-air, ground-static, and remote photography.

Most of us have no possibility to take pictures from air or remotely control the camera from an airplane, you are still able to take aviation pictures from the ground. Today I’ve put together 20 fantastic examples of aviation photography to impress and inspire you!
