    Woahhh.. Which flight was this?? :shock:

    The second picture has a very interesting display of clouds, IMHO. I love how it shows the small clouds hovering over the blue ocean and the large swath of clouds, framed against the darkness of the stratosphere.

    Er.. AirAsia flight AK5205, Kuching-LCCT? Does it matter which flight it was, as long as I'm up there, clouds are still clouds, right? :)

    it was very cloudy (and bumpy) hence a lot of clouds (plus I was bored, all airports should have an emergency bookstore)

    It does. Different areas have different cloud formations, I suppose. :D

    Yeah, it changes with the weather but I think certain cloud formations are only found over land... or water and vice versa.

    Hmm, yes, but I think it's true for the lower atmosphere clouds.. higher up, it's pretty much the same anywhere.. (just what I think, not necessarily true. I'm no meteorologist.)

    Hehe.. That's a good question. Sometimes when I want to take a shot, the window is so murky that I wonder if there's a point in even trying. :haha: :haha:

    Never try, never know :)

    The first two pics were taken on my flight to Kuching, and I was on a 2 week old airbus :p

    The return flight, I was on an old airbus, dirty windows and all, but I tried anyway, and it wasn't so bad at all. In fact, not bad at all! It did not show up at all, the murky colour.

    Strawroot, I was sitting at the wing too... I merely turned by body around and shot the other way out of the window ;)

    Edit: I should add.. where windows are too murky, there's always WB correction, and there's always B&W :) Clouds actually look very nice in B&W.. very old school.
