Some Scenic Sights from 38,000ft of the Alps

Good afternoon!

Thought I’d just drop a couple of images I took and edited from a recent flight I did, flying back from Dubrovnik (LDDU) to London Stansted (EGSS).
I did this flight with a good friend of mine, and IFC member @Dan_King1 , flying the Ryanair 737-800, with the callsign Bluemax 6 Lima Golf (RUK6LG)
I love flights which take me past the Swiss and Italian Alps region because of how breathtaking the view is!, especially from high up!

Thanks @parson !
About an hour before sunset over the alps is the best time to fly over the alps, or indeed any mountain range!

Nice shots, you did only a slight of retouch, right?!

Thanks!

So I just dulled some of the reds and blues down, de-hazed the sky slightly and very slightly altered the white balance.
Whilst de-hazing the sky, I made the horizon a little more misty, but not over-kill!
Lastly, I made the sun look a little more hazy instead of it being a ‘white ball’ as it normally appears in-game.
Reaial masks within Lightroom do the trick! 👍🏻

Thus, I get a slightly more realistic look to the images
