Aperture 2 is an amazing piece of software. I've been going back through photos that I long ago gave up on and seeing how Aperture might bring them back to life. Sure, in this set I had to give up on color and crank the contrast up to 11, but in the end the shots are at least viewable now. The starting files are from a Canon S110. In other words, crappy little JPEGs.
Pro tip: plane windows suck to shoot through.

These are amazing, Pat! You caught some great angles to begin with (don’t know if it was dumb luck or not), otherwise Aperture wouldn’t have done you any good.
Pat, I think the trick for aerials is to find a small plane with windows that will open.
Speaking of aerials, have you seen the book Flying South by Barbara Rowell? She flies a small plane all the way down South America. Really amazing.
