Wow, 15K posts and we're on the 600th page.

Here are a couple BA crossings I shot in RI in June. I use JBear's approach with both eyes open, but with my 40D ( 6fps) I have better luck trying to time a single shot than with a burst:

Mark,

Those crossing shots are excellent! I don't think your timing could have been any better on those.

I've been viewing this thread previously on my laptop, that's where all my photo work was done, but I just picked up a new widescreen LCD monitor for editing, and now this thread looks even better.

I just may have to go back to the start and view the whole thing again.

Something about that Vulcan shot just screams "Cold War" to me...take Rich's watermark off and put some sort of serial # above CLASSIFIED: MOST SECRET and it'd be complete.

Best wishes jbear.

Bill: good shots from that tanker; with all those f-16's around, where did that F-15 come from, was he lost?

@ Mark: Great timing on the crossing shots... wonderful results.

@ Rich: Daaaaaamn... monochrome me impressed as hell. Killer shot.

@ Bill: Refuel more often, will ya? Gorgeous, crisp, feels-like-I'm-there goodness.

@ Jon: From last page, love the colors on the F-18 at sunset. Also, great news to hear about the surgery. Of course God is Good... we knew that... but it still is good to remember, be reminded, and be grateful. Thanks.

@ Bill again: Gorgeous San Juan shots. Two suggestions: they all look slightly tilted to the right to me... am I seeing things, or do they need to be rotated just a nudge CCW? Also, I'd suggest cropping off a little from the bottom to remove the bit of boat in the bottom left. Then, proceed to hang on wall.

What a day! What great shots! Now that's smoking past 15K posts with panache, I tell you. Y'all have posted some absolutely beautiful shots. If I'd known you were going to do all that, I wouldn't have bothered posting some of the stuff I got this morning.

Man there have been some great Blue Angel shots. Here are a few old ones of the F-18 that I have taken over the years.

That last one I worked on for about two hours. The photo credit goes to a good friend that I meet at an airshow on a whim. Since I'm Air Force Blue this retired Navy 1 Star gave me a number of disks full of Navy aircraft shots that he had taken over the years all copyright free at least to me. I guess he wanted to make sure the Navy had good representation when I was touring around the world. There were a few keepers in there and with a little work I was able to bring out some of the details.

I hope you enjoy.

So Bill, is it McChord AFB you fly out of?

Loved your Refueling shots of the F-16. San Juan Islands, I used to live near Anacortes brings back some nice memories.

Rodolfo is right about all the great shots posted up lately - they are stunning! He is wrong about his own shots - they too are stunning. At least i like all of the last 10 or 600 pages!

Jeremy - good to see you posting and your review of shots is a nice one and the work you did on the last one is way cool!

Bill - That home away from home series is wonderful! You and BobL have a knack for nice landscapes. I wish i had more time to do more of that - it is so so pleasing to the eye!
I just found the level tool in ACR - what a great tool... i was doing it manually before - makes life so easy! If there is anything to change - it would be a tweak to level the horizon lines.

The Sabre shots are sweet! Its not an easy plane to shoot and the shots and processing give it a real cool feel to them. Great work!

Anyone seen this floatplane before? http://fun.mivzakon.co.il/flash/video/3867/%C3%AE%C3%A8%C3%A5%C3%B1.html

dBear is recovering nicely - though the they are getting her up to walk today and i bet she wouldn't agree. We both agree on this... God is Good! God has an infinite capacity to hear the praises of His people. So keep on praising His name and all the works He does for those He loves!

Wrei, there were a bunch of F15's also, will post some this weekend. Was dieing to get some F18's refueling but no go.

Jeremy...Your shots are always awesome. That last one is killer. Would love to of been there so I could get my ears busted.

Ya, my horizons look tilted, shoulda used the lines in photoshop. Will have to do some edits and new posts, at the rate were going this page will be ten pages back by tomorrow. You guys try shootin from a rockin boat in the ocean. I don't have those fancy is lens's.

Nice shots carrg1954, keep em coming.

Thanks Rodolfo & jbear. Keep hangin in the John, sounds like dbear is heading the right direction.

Ya, Bobl & I are some lucky oregonians...

Slug69. 173d Fighter Wing. When we put in at Deception Pass the F18 & EA6B Intruders were lightin up the sky for about an hour from the Whidbey Island Base. Way kool. If ya have Google Earth, zoom in on the base and check out what the Airstrip says.

Wow, check out today's APOD - I thought it was the same image at first! Both shots are lovely, I enjoy seeing the moon through layers of cloud like that.

Hey guys!

I can only agree with all the others who have commented the photos on last few pages. Great work everyone!

Here's my little contribution to the beginning of the next 600 pages.

Shot tuesday night some time after sunset...
