futurshox,

Both shots are lovely...

Thank you very much! I guess two pairs of eyes saw the same thing. That's cool.

Mikko - that's a lovely shot... and not a split second late!

--
For all of you guys and gals - two questions. 1) on low light shots like this last one of Mikko's -do you use any noise reduction software to help fight banding and grain? If so what?

and 2) while we have difficult skies these days - most of y'all have figured out the trick to a clear canopy - mind sharing the trick? Mine are killing me!

many thanks... now i'm off to the hospital.

Thanks Jon! Appreciate it!

I tried to hunt the moon for a couple of nights. I got many with a bit more loose crop, but those ones with the plane and moon next to each other once again proved to be a real puzzle

Got a few of these with various compositions...

I personally try not to see the noise as a "boogie man". For example on that first shot the noise caused by the ISO1600 is rather noticeable and I know many who think the shot is ruined because of that. But I don't let it bother me that much. I've seen way too many shots ruined by way too extensive noise reduction. I just don't like the plastic looks of that kind of shots... But sometimes even I have to give up and use the noise reduction. In that case I simply use either the Lightroom's own function or my trusty old Neat Image

Another moon shot... Our clubs (t)rusty old work horse and the loyal camera platform on various A2A-flights of mine will soon be sold away as its successor should arrive in December. Our club bought a 2002 C172 SP with total hours of 68!! The plane should be in a container ship on one of the near days and start its travel from US to Finland

Thanks for the many memorable moments!

10 hours since the last post, so I think it's time for a few more shots.

Here's a few from this morning.

I should probably add in something that's not a helicopter, before I get pigeonholed as only shooting rotary.

Sorry about the small size, but I didn't want to go over the 800 pixels wide limit here, and I have the files uploaded a bit larger than that on my flickr page.

You know, I have tried for ages to get a decent shot of Greg Poe. He's always a bit small in the frame. I need a bigger lens, or maybe to get closer.

Think I fixed that, yesterday

Oh, and then he was joined by a friend!

HUGE thanks to the Randolph AFB media team for this exquisite opportunity, ahead of their airshow this weekend. More pics/explanation to come later...

Good Morning Everyone!

Wow! Y'all have been rockin' and rollin' while I was at work!! Great images! First, happy to hear Miss Deb is out of the woods and on the mend. Continued prayers for a speedy recovery and in thanks for a Great Father and a skilled surgeon.

Congratulations on propelling our great thread to new heights. Who would have guessed that MA2A would have taken on a life of it's own and grown to this point. How far off can a million hits be? You all make it what it is, great work!

I've been shooting architecture for the last three days, up and out at 4 am and back in the dark every night so there hasn't been much time to communicate with y'all. I've got a few aerials to shoot today, but mostly I'm headed to the hangar to recharge.

Got a call yesterday from my folks at Alliance and they are creating a gallery on Facebook and Twitter. I'll post the link as soon as it's up and running.

Enjoy your day, it's a beauty here in The Lone Star State!

Got in last night just in time to go to watch my Grandson Chandler's baseball game. They played "under the lights" so here's a handheld shot with the 300, iso is bumped to 800 and I was still at 100th @2.8.

pretty cool shots Jo and i like the baseball shot good to see that such a big lens is also usable for that sort of subjects

Jim is it correct that the 800 shuts down the Is when tracking a subject horizontal or vertical or is it when you pan horizontal he shuts down the vertical stabilizer or vice versa.
I hope that it's a little readable for you i have a little problem finding the correct words.

Dear Jan-Arie,

I'll do some research on your 800 question, I don't know the answer at this point. That's a neat little download gadget!!

Jim, I have seen a lot of your photography, from almost any subject, and I will say, You are "The Complete Photographer". I really like the picture of the pitcher. Such determination.
Thanks for these.

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.

Must have been a moon sort of night... I ventured out for my first attempt at moon photography that night....

Hmmmm. 1, 7, 3, 7... must have been shot on friday - nice stack! The dead giveaway was the two seat #7.

is it me - or are the 7s a little smaller than the 1 & 3?

Deb gave me a pass last night to attend the David Ziser sellminar ... if i ever wanted to be a wedding photog... i now know where the tools are...!

Those shots of Chandler are as usual - fantastic.

Jo - what an opportunity! You made the most of it i see - great work!

Just did a download test with a Sandisk Extreme IV 2.0 gb CF card and he did it in just over 60 sec to download 2 Gb of data from the CF to the Hard drive very impressive

Hi JBear: The 2seater B-model is the same physical size as the single seat A model, so it must be you!

Here's a few more from yesterday's shoot. The occasion was Randolph AFB's media day, and it was held in conjuction with the Disabled American Veterans group. Pretty much all the civilian performers for this weekend donated rides to veterans, which was very cool to see. I have seldom witnessed as large a grin as those being worn by the folks getting out of the P-51!

Greg Poe let me and another guy ride in his Bonanza for the shoot with him and the B-25. The lady in the front of the MX-2 is a Randolph AFB staffer, while the B-25 is full of veterans.

This one is over Randolph AFB
