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
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
Tenaya Lake in Yosemite National Park – not quite as beautiful as Crater Lake or as the Cathedral Lakes we were en route to, but still worth a stop along the way. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 10mm, 1/250 sec, f/16, ISO 400 * I updated… Continue reading
Sunset in Yosemite National Park – similar to one I posted long ago, but the a wider angle showing the trees. That said, I’m not completely fond of the look that the foreground trees took on in this HDR rendition, but the HDR was a must really to get the… Continue reading
Wine… barrels and barrels of wine. Taken at Benzinger Winery in Sonoma Valley. I like it mostly for the nice symmetrical pattern, of course, since that’s really the complete content of the picture. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 26mm, 0.6 sec shutter, f/4.0, ISO 1600
Well, it’s not actually the Maroon Bells, it’s the dried up lake nestled below them. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, 17-85mm lens @ 64mm, 1/500 sec shutter, f/8, ISO 100
A waterfall somewhere near Aspen, Colorado. This was kind of an impromptu side-hike on a side-day, but it was a pretty cool falls. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, 10-22mm lens @ 10mm, 1/15 sec shutter, f/16, ISO 100
