Hey Mike: Good to see you here dude!

Caught again...

Hi Jay:
I can barely work my gear as it is, much less fiddle with ND filters and such. Sadly it just turned into a drury overcast with no visible sun tonight. Oh well, you cant have a sweet broken layer under the sunset everyday!

Hi everyone!

Been here and there lately, and am now trying to catch up with all the great photos you have, no surprise, been taking and posting lately. Wonderful stuff!!

Inspired by Mikko...

HEH, nice one! I now need to get inspired by yours and try to get one with a pilot in the photo too

But this was also a reminder for me. I really need to get back on the saddle and head out to the airport. The dusk shots from last fall in fact are my last aviation related photos I've taken. Oh, shame on me!!! This is embarrassing!!

Well, here's something different from a few days back. Designed and installed some stripe tapes for my friends truck. And then we took some promo shots...



Mikko

Jim-

I plan on being at ISAP as well this year. Subject to change, depending on work, baby, etc. but I sure hope not!

I'm giving it serious consideration, it's right before classes start for Summer, not sure if I'll do a Summer session or wait for August. Classes resume May 20th, so it'll really be a tight squeeze. Guess it depends on how bad Chemistry kicks my tookus.

How many of Y'all are thinking about the ISAP symposium in Seattle in mid-May? We're finalizing the program and will be posting the itinerary, including field trip schedules, in the very near future. I'm not beating the drum for it, just wondered how many of us will be attending so I have a handle on what else we might be able to pull off while we're there. These events are very challenging to plan, and this year's has been especially so, but we think you'll be entertained and educated, as well as just have a good time. No pressure, just let me know if you think you'll be going. We're waiting for confirmation from a couple of very key presenters or you'd already have the roster and schedule. There will be some very interesting announcements in Seattle, that I think you'll approve of as well. We've collectively spent hundreds of hours over the last twelve months doing our best to craft an organization that our members can be proud of. Obviously, we haven't pleased everyone, but we have over a hundred new members, a website you can be proud of to showcase your work, ISnAP has developed into a full fledged magazine with an exploding readership, and we're financially sound. I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag re: all we've been working on for the past year, but I think you will be pleased.

Welcome Mike! Your first subjects are near and dear to my heart!

Nice work Glenn! That's the one downside to hitting home runs, when the skies don't cooperate it is a bit of a let down. Still, you did great with the hand you were dealt Buddy! You can thank your lucky stars you weren't on the hook for B25 rates when the sky decided to give you lemons, now that's depressing! My guess is, with your talent, you'll get another swipe at the King Air.

Welcome back Mikko! We've been missing your frozen air to airs!

That'd be great Laura. Next year's will be closer to you if this one doesn't work out, but we'd love to have you.

Hi Warner! It'd be great to see you again!!

FYI to iMac owners. A few days ago I rebooted my iMac at HQ and noticed that there was "smudgy", not to be confused with "smarmy" stuff in the right and left upper corners. I saw it when the off white boot up screen was up for a few seconds. Initially I thought they were just smudges from cleaning the screen, but further investigation revealed that was not the case. I created a white page in CS6 and moved it around the screen, then took screen captures so I could email them off to my Apple guy. Screen captures showed nothing. I then thought it must be something that has gotten on the back side of the front glass....uh, nope. Turns out that iMacs, not a huge number (aren't I lucky?) are having this anomaly show up. The problem is in the lcd mat somewhere. My Apple guys have parts being overnighted and they say everything will be rosy in a couple of days. Anyway, if your iMac exhibits this, and is still within Applecare, get it fixed. If you're out of Applecare, my guess is you'd want to live with it because it won't be cheap to fix. I gave them the option of sliding mine to the side and lowering a new version into it's place..............it was worth a try.

That's an older iMac, Jim? I'm surprised Apple didn't go along for a swap to a late 2012 model; would be a lot less trouble for all concerned. Sure is a sexy beast, and fast. D800 files still take too long to render, but it's way better than before.

Mike, Mikko, yipDog, Glenn: off the charts!

Thank you everyone, great to be part of this! Thanks for the kind words and warm welcome! Also, being an ISAP member (and about 2 hours from Seattle) I do hope to spend some time making familiar names into familiar faces

Soon to be illegal in New Hampshire

All those man-made structures, don't you know...

Greetings from Langley, BC, Canada.

Thanks to Jay (FlyingPhotog) for the referral to this insanely awesome thread!



Hey Mike - great to see you posting here. This man has scary good skills

Dear Steve - Thanks for continuing your winter tradition of Colorado frozen tundra A2G. I can't pick a favorite image, the patterns and tones are all mesmerizing

Really deep evening Glenn or did you employ some ND?

Love the shallow DOF in 2 and 3.

+1 Glenn - that King Air never looked so good. Nice catch on the red strobe.
