A general landscape shot from a hike outside Boulder, CO. The picture didn’t turn out quite as I hoped, but I still like it. Picture taken with Canon Rebel 350D, EF-S 17-85mm @ 17mm, 1/500 sec shutter, f/14, ISO 400
Ending the airshow pictures as any proper airshow ends – with a shot of the Blue Angels. Good timing, but I must have been tracking #3 just a bit because the tail of #6 is slightly blurry. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, 1/3200 sec, f/8.0,… Continue reading
Gizmodo – Blue Angels Fat Albert Apparently I queued up a few more airshow pictures. I suspect I’ve posted a picture of this guy before, but this is Fat Albert – the Blue Angels transport C-130 Hercules. When I was a kid I saw a demo of the plane taking… Continue reading
Here’s five people pulling somewhat the same maneuver as yesterday’s planes. I think these were US Army jumpers based on some subsequent pictures. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, 1/4000 sec, f/8.0, ISO 800
A quartet of stunt planes – all of different color combinations. I can read Embry Riddle on one and ubokia on the other, so maybe they’re just painted up to best advertise something to the crowd. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, 1/4000 sec, f/8.0, ISO… Continue reading
How about a few more from the Chicago airshow. This one’s an F-18, like the Blue Angels, but without the snazzy paint job. I’m not sure what maneuver it was pulling to get the vapor trails of the wings, but it’s pretty cool. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm… Continue reading
Another airshow shot – this time from Chicago of the Oracle stunt plane. Probably could have done with a slightly lower ISO and shutter speed. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, 1/6400 sec, f/8.1, ISO 800
I don’t know why this was taken at ISO 800 f/16 when outdoors on a bright, sunny day. Too late to do anything about that now though… The Grant Memorial in Chicago.. Pictures taken with Canon XT, EF-S 18-55mm lens @ 18mm, f/16, 1/640 sec, ISO 800
A beautiful picnic scene for y’all. Taken from the back yard back when I lived in East Lansing on River Terrace. Picture taken with Canon 300D, 18-55mm lens @ 18mm, 1/160 sec, f/8.0, ISO 100
Cathedral Peak in Yosemite National Park, looking away from the lake. Oh, and a dead tree in the foreground. It would have been cool to hike around the lake and get a shot of the peak with the lake in the background. It would also have been cool to realize… Continue reading
