A320 and 737-800 cockpits. Unfortunately compression has completely killed these pictures, but that sometimes it the price we have to pay. Anyway some views you would not normally see.

Sweet shots.

How hard is it to take pictures of the LCD screens... havent seen that much photos where they came out so good as on these

Wow, nice to see these two cockpits in real! Interesting shots!

The secret is a tripod naturally and a long exposure. The most important thing however and this would seem to be against what you would think, is to set the cockpit lighting to it's lowest setting, almost to the point that you think it is way too low for a picture. These where taken with a two to four second exposure time. If you try to use flash, then you just end up with a very hard cockpit and black screens as they have an anti reflex coating.

Great shots, Matt. If I had the money I'd build a simpit like that.

Excellent shots!!  Thanks for taking the time to set the shot up to show us these cockpits!!

Always know you have an Airbus when there's no yoke. I like the Boeing over the Airbus. Never been a fan of any Airbus. The 737-800 is my favorite aircraft next to the CL-604.

Great shots! Thanks for doing this!

Look at the tiny gear handle in the Airbus!
