Airline Pilot Takes Incredible Photos of Dramatic Storms and Skies

Whilst there are plenty of incredible scenes, landscapes and locations to be photographed here on the ground, few photographers are lucky enough to take to the skies regularly enough to take photos of what lies above the clouds but 747 pilot Christiaan van Heijst is lucky enough to do that, using his passion for flying to enable him to pursue his other passion in life, photography.

Whilst the rest of us are stuck surrounded by other passengers and although we’re sometimes lucky enough to get a window seat it doesn’t quite compare to the 180-degree view that Heijst has of the sky ahead, allowing him to take stunning photos of dramatic nights skies and storms with his Nikon D800. Wether it’s dramatic storms or beautiful sunsets Heijst takes some truly breathtaking photos, more of which you can see here.
