Howdy!

Indy

Hey Howdy Hey, it's been awhile, hasn't it? When I joined, my oldest daughter was 8. She now has four kids of her own, the oldest being 8.

Some video of the V-22 that I've shot over the last few years compiled together in this video:

Glad to see it's back. Very cool to see something like this that's been away for awhile make a comeback

Nice title, btw

Happy Birthday Pat!

Awesome.. Cloud to Cloud lightning and Cloud to Ground lightning in one shot. :-)

It was a nice storm to sit in the garage and watch...our garage faces to the north, and this storm was coming out of the north moving south. I couldn't have asked for better circumstances for taking some pictures ...

I remember as a kid being at my grandparents house going through all of their issues of National Geographic (they had them all the way back to the 40s), and being especially interested in the issues that dealt with the space program (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo). It was fascinating for me to go through ...

Thanks Cybo

There are up sides and down sides to any place that you live. Around here, there are plenty of down sides, such as being downwind from the cattle yards when the winds get really strong. Or heat being triple digit unbearable for long stretches during the summer. But there are plenty of up sides as ...

Indy

That's got some really nice abilities with the macro; I think the first baby pine cone works better with the lighting, the second one seems a little too bright. The first one you can really see the detail of the moisture on the tips.

Indy

Nice shot...love the turmoil of the clouds going on

Brings back some vivid memories of storms in years past

Another reason why I aspire to Sony in the future. I wonder if they have an adapter for Canon glass?

I'm betting that there is an adapter out there somewhere. I had bought an adapter some time ago to use some older non-AF Minolta lenses on my Sony. Had to go full manual with them in order to use ...

Indy

Sony's been great for me so far and I like the selection of older minolta lenses that are available to me at fairly reasonable prices. I've got my eye on a 75-210mm f/4 telephoto (beercan) that I may buy here in the next month or so, and all the image stabilization stuff is built into the camera ...

Indy

Very nice!

How's your Alpha holding up? I'm thinking of going with an a77 but right now I have alot of money wrapped up in Canon glass.

It's doing pretty well...I've upgraded (slightly) from the a100 to the a550, and the a77 is somewhere hopefully in the near future for myself as well. I can ...

I've got about a dozen shots I took up on facebook if anyone's interested in looking: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3657560472672.201092.1084421382&type=3&l=702bef6d91

It was really cool having both my daughters out there with me watching as the light diminished rapidly, sort of the ...

I converted afterwards. Some shots just beg to be in B&W tho, and this was one of them

Really unfortunate

He always seemed like a standup guy to me...

Indy

Thanks :) Was pretty cool to be able to get close enough to shoot some pictures like this...President Bush also was in town over the weekend, unfortunately circumstances kept me from getting out to where he was to take some pictures. But I'm grateful to be able to get some nice shots of Pres ...

Went to see Bill Clinton at a lecture last night down on the campus of West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas, (where my wife graduated last year and my daughter currently attends), and was in for a very interesting evening. Took lots of pictures, but this one for me turned out to be my favorite ...

Indy

Very nice shots Evan! I really like the second shot, showing your daughter mid stride onto the base, makes for a very cool shot

Indy

Well, we had our summer from hell last year with something in the neighborhood of 45 days of 100+ temps and very little rain. I'm hoping that this year will be different.

Indy

Thanks guys. There's nothing I get more pleasure from than being around this type of stuff and shooting pictures. Just heard on the news today about a commemoration done in Dayton, Ohio, where they were honoring the remaining living vets from the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo. There was something around ...

Indy

This past week I had the fortunate pleasure of being able to shoot some pictures (well, a lot of pictures, actually) of three key aircraft from the WWII era: the B-17 Flying Fortress, the B-24 Liberator, and the P-51 Mustang, in addition to some other aircraft present. All three are cared for by the ...

Nicely shot!

It was probably no more than around 100 feet or so above me when I took that shot...I found a nice little spot that puts me directly under the flight path

Indy

Great pics. I don't think I've seen that folded wing-tip before.

Thanks :) You see the winglets a lot on the 737 these days, especially with Southwest airlines. They help reduce lift induced drag on the wing. They've only been around for about 15 years, but it seems like a newer thing :)

Indy

Fortunately for me, I had my camera with me in my car, and as I was leaving work, I noticed several aircraft lined up on approach into our airport. So, I drove over to where I would be pretty much under the flight path and snapped a few pictures...hope you enjoy :)

Your favorite is my favorite.

Looks cold and gloomy.

A little drizzly the day we were down there, not as cold as it could have been tho...sitting in the mid 40s which made for a reasonably pleasant day

Last weekend for the Superbowl in Indy, my wife, two kids, son-in-law, and granddaughter all poured into my daughter's minivan and drove up to Indiana to enjoy all the festivities. We stayed at my mother-in-law's place, and spent Saturday downtown and watched the Superbowl from the house on Sunday ...

Was playing around with photoshop tonight combining a couple of images I had taken in the past for a (hopefully) better sum of it's parts. I had taken a number of shots of a T-28 Trojan at an airshow a couple of years ago, and the image I chose was pretty clear, but just didn't seem to really ...
