These remarkable shots were taken from a height of 20,000 ft (6,000m) from the open doors of a small prop plane (video below). The location was Manaus, Brazil and Nehmzow used: a Rolleiflex Hy6 with Leaf AFi 7 (digital back – 33MP) and a Alpa 12 TC with Leaf AFi-II 10 (56MP). Edition prints of these beautiful captures can be found on Rudiger’s official site:

Only been on a plane a few times and the view out the window always amazes me, especially the clouds gives me a sense of perspective on how big planet Earth is
