On occasion we get an oblique photo shoot for a client. We fly in a circle over a building or park, or area and shoot at an angle out the window with a hand held camera.
On the ground, before takeoff, we take the screw out of the window limit lever so it will open up all the way, and the air flow hold the window up against the wing. It is not bad in the summer time. It really really really sucks in winter time when it is sub zero at 3,000 feet and I have to stick my hand out into the wind flow to lower the window.
We really prefer nadir photography and we keep the windows closed.
I have never flown in an open cockpit. With the right pilot I would certainly do it, in summer.
