On any given day, you might find me hunting airplane contrails high above a clear Idaho sky. Since Boise’s airport sees mostly narrow body aircraft, I search high above for the more interesting wide body aircraft spotting.
On this particular blue sky day, I spotted a Condor Airlines Airbus A330 at 35K feet on its way from San Fransisco to Frankfurt Germany (info from Flightradar 24).
I was not familiar with Condor Airlines so I did a bit of research. Condor was founded in 1956 in Germany. According to it’s website, it’s Germany’s “most popular leisure airline”. The unique strips livery was introduced in 2022 to “Introduce a new brand identity: Inspired by parasols, bath towels and beach chairs, Condor now wears stripes in five colors. This illustrates the development from a leisure airline to a unique and unmistakable vacation brand.” The green and white livery in the photo I captured is their Island color theme.

Today, I received the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.4 mirrorless lens. Considering that it’s not a S line lens, the build quality is pretty good. It’s light and the lens hood is not too big or too small. I would say overall, the design has a pleasing esthetic compact look.

I have finally setup my first single topic portfolio on aviation. Aviation is one of the subjects that I seek out, both when at home and while traveling. It’s been a passion of mine for a long time. Hence, I have accumulated a lot of portfolio worthy content from shooting mostly airplanes over the years.
Watch as Andrew Hancock discusses his approach to capturing the largest sporting event in the world and why he has with him no less than 5 Nikon Z9 cameras.
As we all know now, Nikon announced the Z8, a slimmed down version of the Z9 and a modern version of the original Nikon D850 DSLR. Let’s compare the specs between all 3 cameras.
