A glimpse into extreme aerial photography
Singh offered a detailed account of the experience in his caption. He wrote, “At 300 knots and around 10,000 to 20,000 ft in a depressurised aircraft, with the aircraft cutting through the sky like a missile, the door swings open and suddenly you’re not a photographer anymore. You feel like a small speck fighting a storm. The wind doesn’t just touch you, it slams into your face, making your skin ripple, your muscles twist, and your eyes stretch and blur. Breathing becomes hard, thinking becomes harder, and every part of your body wants to pull away….. but your finger has to stay steady.”
He went on to explain the razor-thin margin for error in such moments. “In that split second through the roar, the cold, and the shaking you still have to find your frame, find your focus, and take the shot. It’s hard to see, hard to hold the camera still, and the cold up there bites deep. But that’s the only moment you have, and the world below won’t wait. The wind tries to push you back… but the shot pulls you forward.”
