Ok, so it was my first experience on air... and so was the first experience of aerial photography. Taking pics from the sky is an all different feeling and so is the photography technique. Most of the times, you're hovering over the blanket of clouds with blue sky above. Also a thing ti note is the fact that there's a lot of white all around and so is the light reflection. Clicking pics of cloud in auto mode can be a daunting task since the camera wont be able to find much contract in the pic, so manual focus would serve much better. Also make sure that the exposure is kept kept down by a couple of stops.
Regarding the usage of camera on flight- I went through many discussion forums and websites and found that there is absolutely no harm in using camera on planes. Take as many photos as you wish but make sure you don't disturb the people around you!
