Being able to take photographs from a bird’s eye view is freaking awesome. I was able to take photos of Chicago from a Cessna 172 airplane armed with only my iPhone and a disposable camera. But pilot Karim Nafatni takes it to a whole other level by taking photos from his Nikon D3000s in the cockpit of jet airliners. A typical day at the office for him is spent flying people to their destinations while snapping photos from his camera in the back of the cockpit. The end result comes in the form of awesome HDR photos and a glimpse of what Karim experiences everyday. Check out the photos below and for more visit PetaPixel here.
