The Titlis Rotair gondola heading up (or down, not sure) the mountain in Engelberg Switzerland. I thin k it’s claim to fame is that, as the name hints, it rotates while traveling giving the occupants a 360 view of the landscape. My claim to fame is that I rode it… Continue reading
And, the real reason for showing yesterday’s picture was as a setup for this one. The underside of the amphitheater showing the support structure (and the light where the vent openings are). Picture taken with Olympus C2040z, lens @ 7.3mm (40mm eq), 1/5 sec shutter, f/1.8, ISO 200
An amphitheater in Trier among old Roman ruins. Think of it as a miniature Colosseum for the locals complete with under-floor staging area (see the vents and ports). Picture taken with Olympus C2040z, lens @ 10.6mm (60mm eq), 1/400 sec shutter, f/5.0, ISO 100

Cherry Festival Airshow 2015 – Coast Guard demonstration swimmer. This was taken on day two and for the most part I was kayaking, but I landed for a bit during the Coast Guard rescue demo since I had better location than the day before for pictures. Picture taken with Sony… Continue reading
Cherry Festival Airshow 2015 – Air Force Thunderbirds. I’m surprised I got this picture at all because of how they came over from the side. I believe this was the full afterburner run, thus the orange flame seen in the jet. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @… Continue reading
Cherry Festival Airshow 2015 – Air Force Thunderbirds. These guys were the main event this year (vs. the more common Blue Angels) so I have a few shots of them to share, though I was using the new Sony and the lens I have for it tops out at 200mm… Continue reading
