To Glenn....Hot it is. I like that photo of you and the girl. Very fun pic.

To Lachlan: thanks for posting that pic too. I enjoyed seeing the Vulcan again and the bomber looks "deadly" in that paint.

Ok...I have played with this shot and wanted a second or third opinion. Which version do you like better? I am leaning towards the close up.

And does my nose make me look fat?

Thanks Mark. Don't get them up here enough, so I want to try and get good pictures of mustangs when I can. This weekend helped.

I hear you. I was disappointed we didn't get all three Horsemen, but two was still a treat. This was one of the better shots I got:

As for the C130, I think I like the first. I have a heck of a time with these gray paint schemes, especially on the shadow sides. On #2 the mottling is more visible. Plus I like the props on #1.

I like #2 better - but maybe drawing back just far enough to show the tips of the props. It makes me thing of the Bela Fleck song "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo"... but then that's just me.

Thanks Bill, Mark and JBear. I think I like the in your face shot the best and I will have to try pulling out just a tad farther like you said JBear. But I do like the original version also, just trying something different. The cropping didn't degrade the shot that much, so I wanted to try it. Not bad for a 4mp Nikon D2H. The only post on first shot was resizing for web and tweeking the exposure. And the second shot has some major cropping done. Guess I was pretty steady for that shot.

Even a blind squirrel will find a nut every once in awhile.

Joe,

I think you should keep shooting the heavy metal. Great shots! Particularly 1 & 2.

Jim,

I'd go with #1. Mainly for the prop, and haze.

Great photos over the last few pages guys!!!

Jim, I think both shots are completely different in look and feel... and I like both of 'em!

Here are a few from the 08 Osh folder I'm in this week. Too many irons in the fire for sure - which folder to drop into - which year - which camera - which show... oh well!

Got a kool little airshow on 8/1 at this place http://www.muckyflats.com/ with 35-40 planes and choppers coming in. Guess I'll have to work on my dreaded prop shots as there certainly won't be any jets there..

jbear, how do you keep track of what you've posted? I don't post anywhere near as many photos as you do, but I still have trouble remembering what I've already used.

I use Smugmug too; do you maybe somehow tag a photo you've linked to?

Curious what methods other folks use as well.

Thanks!

Hi Mark,

I have a very good memory - which is bad sometimes. I can roll the tape back and "see" some things as clearly as if it just happened. ("when I think back of all the girls I knew in high school - its a wonder i can think at all" - not good when you're living your life and trying to honor your God and your wife - so be careful what you allow into the open doorways of your mind - ears, eyes, tastes, smells, touch - as these things never go away and will auto-replay at the drop of a hat)

Moral lesson over...

Usually i know if i've posted something before... and do it anyway. Out of those last 6 shots i know I've posted one or two of them - but usually, I have just finished editing a batch and I make 72 dpi copies and load them into a private gallery on Smugmug where i just link to them. They are almost always fresh unless I'm posting a repost for a reason.
The private gallery has over 750 images of just aviation and i have 6 or 7 other galleries set up similarly. (sports, people, individual airshows...) If an image is in one of these galleries - i know i've posted it somewhere before and if i go back and get an image - its cause i wanted to and not because i forgot. Kinda like that image of the Red Bull copter at 1/15th with the full disc using the 600mm. Jim mentioned it and even though i knew it had been posted before, i threw it back up on the site. If that's not OK to do - I'll certainly stop. I am like everyone else on this, I prefer fresh images as much as possible... even if they were shot two years ago... there are images from GML that still haven't seen the light of day!

The front line public galleries on Smugmug are not set to be able to link to for obvious reasons.

On my last series of posts - 1, 4,5,6 are all new. 2, 3 and 7 are older and 2 has never been posted, 3 might have been - or one very similar and I'm reasonably sure #7 was posted before but has since been re-edited. 2,3 & 7 were added as context this time.

I have been accused of posting the same picture over and over and over - which i have never done. I just shoot a lot of images of the same subjects or types of subjects and on any given day, i might like the way the light is hitting a wing and I'll post it - regardless if 50 pages back i posted a shot of the same plane with slightly different light from the same burst series.
Usually if i repost something - its by accident due to selecting images in the small icon view and directly uploading it. But since the watermark doesn't go on - i rarely do it that way.

Clear as mud - huh?

Thanks, actually very clear. I have a similar memory about a lot of things, so I know what you mean about that....

I like the idea of setting up the private gallery; most of my public galleries are my kids' youth sports teams, and I allow downloads and links. But I see where I could prevent linking to some galleries and copy/move the photos I want to link into a private one.

Thanks again,

Mark

I know I've never posted this before... not here anyway... shot with a Nikon N2000 a long time ago. At least 25 years ago... before digital, good lenses or any developed skill...
shot from the third from the last row in the Omni up in the nose bleed section.

You and me both Glen! But I've only ever shot one airshow, so it's even easier for me!

Another addition from Osh of 08 that i just finished up...

I can tell that balancing that 600 for the first time ever was a real workout by the number of keepers. I just remember being REAL sore after the first full day there... next time Jim does me a favor like that... I'd rather load up on Tylenol first... who needs a liver when you can bench press and get photos at the same time?

That chopper would look really good blown up jbear, nice shot.

Anyone know of any good camera and lens rental shops on the wst coast ? Got a San Juan trip lined out next month and looking to upgrade for a week.
