You haven't mentioned your camera, but assuming it's DX the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 looks good for what you're asking for. I have no experience with that lens, however. If you can give up a little speed, either the Nikon or Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5. I have the Tamron and like it a lot. Remember that a fast lens wide open may give you shallower depth of field than you'd like in such an enclosed space, so you might not really want as fast a lens as you think. It sort of depends on what exactly you intend to do.

Most of the pictures in the sample images were taken with fast wide-angle lenses. Some appear to be using off-camera lights. I would avoid flash photography of sleeping passengers, lest you find yourself strangled by your neck strap. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

If not you will need to obtain the airline's prior express permission. You will also need a release or releases from the airline if you wish to sell or publish any of the shots - that includes placing them on a personal web site. You will also need to take with you a good quantity of model release forms, and ask anyone who is identifiable in any of your shots to sign them. The model release grants you the image rights (subject also to any agreement with the airline) of those people you photograph and is essential if you wish to sell or publish any shots. However, you may find that people are unwilling to sign - for example, if you asked me to sign one, I would probably leave you in no doubt that I had no intention of allowing you to include me in any of your shots. Especially at night, many other people will share that view. If you were commissioned, or you get permission, you need to rent a wide angle lens. I would recommend you rent a Nikon 24mm f/1.4G ED AF-S lens, and a D3, D3s or D700 body if you don't already have one. The reason for using one of these bodies is their excellent image quality at high ISOs. But if you have one, you will already know this. Another lens that is worth considering is the Nikon 16-35mm f/4G ED AF-S VR. The f/4 maximum aperture is limiting but the VR allows hand held shots at shutter speeds up to three stops lower than you would normally use to get sharp results. I use both these lenses in low light on a D700 and am very happy with them.

If I was aboard that flight, I would file a complaint about invasion of privacy. The flight attendant will report that to the pilot in chargem and you would face sanctions of some sort. The airplane is private property, and I did not grant third-party permission to violate my privacy. |
