Hey Guys and Gals,

If any of you are thinking about joining Scott Kelby's National Association of Photoshop Professionals group, now is the time. My buddy Scott has some great discounts going. The monthly magazine alone is worth the annual subscription price, then there's all the tutorials and training stuff.

If you're thinking about it and decide to pull the trigger, use this link:

I post a link to the 2012 Reno galleries, and they can't seem to figure out how to find them?? Only place I have ever had that complaint. I know my site is very basic and not exactly state of the art these days, but this boggles my mind.

Tim I'm also getting redirected to the first page when i click on reno 2012 tried it with firefox and I.E.

Screenhot I see the page but no photo's




I see what you mean, the link for each class gallery is below as you can see, I forgot to add a link back to the page you see above to go from class to class without getting kicked back to the main gallery page.

Quoting myself, I did not make a mistake. As I said, the classes are all listed below the little blurb about this years races, when you go to an individual class there are three links at the bottom of each class page, Home for the home page, Photo Galleries for the main 2004-2012 galleries, and a link for the 2102 National Championship Air Race Galleries, this takes you back to the page with all the classes, and you can click on the next class.

Jan-Arie, I did the same thing - stopped and waited for the galleries to load. Then I realized the galleries are in the links along the bottom of the page.

Tim, the text is a bit small, and they kind of blend into the ad at the bottom. Maybe you could list them vertically along the left edge?

Having said that, I figured that out right quick, and lingered over that B&W night shot of Precious Metal with what look like electric arcs in the prop disk - I love that image.

The reason I do it that way is to keep the classes seperate, there are a lot of photos, you would have to scroll forever to see them all, and it is much easier to keep class photos together instead of mixing them up, and I can add the little blurb about what each class is. Makes it easier for me also, I don't have to have 8 links at the bottom of each gallery page, only 3 now.

I get stuck in day job overtime hell, and next thing I see is we are 4 pages further than I last saw lol. Nice shots by all as usual Even the "tubes"

Not aviation, but one of my favorites from 2012. Just capturing the moment of a creation.

Jim,

thank you, sir. I'd be privileged to do that with you. Happy New Year to you and yours, and watch out for those snowballs

And NAPP has plenty of member discounts, too. In particular, be sure you're subscribed before you buy/upgrade Adobe products, as the discount on a Creative Suite upgrade will just about pay for a year of NAPP.

On Thursday I stopped by the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex to see how the new exhibit for Atlantis is coming along. I have to say that seeing an orbiter shrink-wrapped was quite different.

I typed up a little story on my blog along with some more photos if interested. The exhibit will open in July.

Nice work, Walter. I like how they designed the orbiter's display stand with pivots and put it in a bank for display. Would have enjoyed seeing the process whereby they got it to that final position, too. Maybe someone will have shot video and will produce a 'making of' video about the exhibit.

You guys need to check out this series of aurora time lapses shot with a 5DII:

Just spectacular stuff. I found it from a thread on the Canon board:

Mark,
That is some spectacular imagery in the time lapse. Looks very cold though

The ultimate in gift wrapping

Hmm, I'm beginning to think that the "booby prize" that everyone thought the crew cabin trainer was, is actually going to be more fun than gazing at a shuttle, given the plans they have for the CCT:

I can't be 100% sure if that is the exact same crew cabin, but way back(1984?) I got to crawl around one of those at JSC. They had it in the vertical I think at the time too. sadly no family shots of it exist and I was 6 at the time, but I remember it cause for that day I was an astronaut hehe

Definitely sounds like it would be worth a trip to see that once complete

Ringing in the new year, while on approach to 17L.

Brian, way cool that you got to crawl around in one. Hoping they at least do like they did for SAM 26000 and glass off but let you peek through and see everything, even though that's a pretty tight walk through.

In other news, looks like Honor Flight may have hit the 100,000 mark this year

Having had the recent fortune of being inside Endeavour, a "pretty tight walk through" is an understatement. Granted I am 6' 4", but standing on my knees my head could touch buttons when I was on the aft flight deck.

I would agree, they should have the glass off, just thinking a walkthrough won't be doable as much as it would be rockin' to have.

Would like to post a few more from my first show. Was wondering what shutter speed works best for full circles. Does it depend on type of engine as I seem to do better with radials, maybe something with the way the props are geared. C and C will help. Used to shoot a lot of college Football and it seems a lot of what I learned there helps with this. Already looking forward to the Blue Angels April 27 and 28 in South Carolina.

Going AWOL for the next three days... Happy New Year to everyone, and may at least one of your resolutions come true!
