On our flight to Los Angeles a few months ago, my boyfriend surrendered his window seat to me and I managed to take a good amount of photos of the breathtaking landscape of the American West. The desert landscape is surprisingly diverse, with its mountains, canyons, plateaus, rivers, and sporadic oases. It’s a flight I never get tired of making.
The below photos I managed to capture with my Digital Rebel and ƒ1.8 50mm lens. The blue gradient towards the top is a result of the window tinting of the plane. The only post-processing involved was some contrast and color correction to add more red and yellow.
Also, I didn’t realize it until recently, but someone made a bloglovin feed for my blog, and for those of you who use it, add me~

I can’t pinpoint what it is, but something about these photos is incredibly beautiful. Definitely not what I expected.
I really love the blue tint at the top!
