p.466 #1 · Mustang Air to Air " The Sequel"


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!

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.

Lensrentals.com is your best bet. They send it to you and have good stuff. I believe Rodolfo used them a while back. They are in Memphis but ship anywhere.

http://www.borrowlenses.com They are in the SF Bay area. I haven't used them, but haven't heard any bad comments. They also are a supporter of a fairly well known aviation photography website.

Dear JBear,

Better step it up a notch Buddy, AirVenture is barreling our way! And shortly after that, we'll be standing on the tarmac at Alliance smelling Navy JP-4 burning.

I'm back in Big D soaking up some of our 100 degree "dry" Texas sunshine. Had a sunrise shoot this morning and a bunch of catch up the rest of today.

The internet sure has become a way to turn fiction into fact. Politically there are idiots on both sides that throw out some outrageous story, with no shred of fact in it, and pretty soon it becomes reality. I'm sure many of you have seen the e-mail alerting the reader that things have gotten so out of hand in the US that "In God We Trust" has been removed from our coins. There's a silver dollar image on the email and the phrase is not there. Complete BS, fabricated to get Christians and or conservatives all in an uproar. Then everyone who passes it on looks like an idiot because it isn't true at all.

I personally have begun to research anything that I hear before I get worked up about it, or repeat it. You all remember the discussion a few pages back re: the photographer at Addison airport in North Dallas. The story indicated that he was where he was supposed to be with full approval and he was accosted by Addison officers, guns drawn and ultimately handcuffed. Well, as the late great Paul Harvey would say, stay tuned for "The rest of the story...".

The photographer was there to take photographs of the B-24 for an article in The Dallas Observer, a local free weekly newspaper that sits on racks in grocery stores, etc. Reliable sources at the airport tell me that he had spoken with the 24 crew and was approved to shoot photographs from a specific ramp during an early morning training operation. The photographer not only strayed from that area, but crossed an active taxiway and the active runway in search of his shots. Addison airport is an extremely busy GA airport with hundreds of arrivals and departures daily from Cessna 150's to 737's and everything in between. The airport is situated in the center of a dense population, both business and residential. The Addison police don't have any room for error as far as their airport security responsibilities go, because one or two people with mal intent could do a great deal of damage in a short time. If the account relayed to me is anywhere near accurate, and I have no reason to doubt it, the photographer is lucky he didn't get a free cavity search and an orange jumpsuit for a day or two.

TKI is considerably more laid back than Addison, traffic wise, but I can assure you that anyone crossing an active taxiway, much less a runway, without prior approval from the city and ATC, along with constant communication with ATC, would have his nose in the dirt in very short order. I've always found the Addison officers to be very nice, but they take their responsibility seriously in a post 9/11 environment.

I can't imagine that crossing an active runway is going to be popular, wherever you are! D'oh!

You're right on the money there Jo! Then there was some reference to the photographer getting lippy with the officers........... and that always works to de-fuse a tense situation. I have been in a zillion spots, some I had credentials for, and some I didn't, but I've always found that respect for another person's authority (even if they don't have any , goes a long way toward having things work out in your favor, Oh, and looking for all the world like you actually belong where you are is good too. And.......carrying a whopping big lens that the security folks have more interest in looking through than pushing your nose in the dirt is good too.

Now that I'm thinking about this, there could be the makings of a great practical joke waiting for JBear at Alliance this year, what a photo op


Naaaa, I could never do that to my Buddy............................

There was that time when I gave my little brother to the count of 10 to get out of sight before I shot him in the rear with my Daisy BB Rifle, poor kid, he almost made it. But I was much less mature then

These are old, but pretty sure I've never posted here.

The most unusual paint scheme I've ever shot. I keep this one for 100-400 naysayers.

It's okay, Jim. The current "score" is:

MA2A II: 11644
GPP: 6

I'm not saying that the game is quite over yet, but I think the first string can take a breather.

Since I don't consider myself "first string," but I don't have anything new as far as aircraft, here are a couple of shots from Hawaii last summer:

Dear Rusty and Mike,

Good work Boys!

Rusty, the 100-400 is a great piece of glass, not as lightening fast as the primes, but gives you a range that allows you to capture some great images that would be missed whilst mounting and hoisting the appropriate primes.

Mike,

Nice shot! I thought I was going to get to roam the Islands after shooting Pat Walsh's ceremony at Pearl in early June, but alas, it wasn't to be. I'm going to be catching up with one of his flat tops over there soon though.

Thanks Jim.

Really special shots Mike, very nice.

Matt, dramatic shot. I could almost hear the engines rumble.

Shopping for that D3x... any advice welcome on this thread and whole-heartedly appreciated.

Still not sure I can make Oshkosh (or pull the entire $15K together so quickly), but I don't hear no fat lady yet!

Jim and Rusty,

Thanks! The two people shots were taken on Oahu at the Polynesian Cultural Center's "Horizons" show, which I highly recommend. They perform all the Polynesian dance styles.

Actually, I can tie the lava shot to aviation: a Coast Guard C-130 made a couple of passes over the area. I had originally blocked it out because my shots of the plane are so poor. I include them here only for documentary purposes.

In the second shot, you can also see a small boat braving the steaming waters near the lava flow. This was apparently a charter by a local photographer known for his lava work.
