Testing the iPhone XR sensor.
Challenging light here but the new iPhone XR performs very well. It still managed to capture details in the shadows while not burning the bright sky.
See below for a before and after: the untouched picture and, once clicked, a version edited with Snapseed posted on Instagram (which might be slightly over-processed, I confess, but it shows the level of details preserved).

How did Soviet flying aces decorate their planes during World War II?
Unlike American and British pilots, Red Army pilots never painted pin-up girls on their planes. Discover the messages and intriguing drawings they opted for, in this very interesting article.
Last flight for 2017: flying above Lausanne
I just edited this short video: my final flight for 2017, a year full of ups and downs. A year of discovery, learning and exploration. Also a tough year, during which we lost 3 friends.
Wishing you all a wonderful, joyful, colorful year ahead!
