Going Out In Style

DC-6 captured by Z 9 / Z180-600

One of the aircraft I was truly looking forward to seeing in flight was Redbull’s DC-6 at Osh ’26. It did not disappoint! The wildfire smoke in the air brought a unique glow to the fuselage (that I’m glad I don’t have to polish!). I wish I had the ability to accurately record the sound of those four engines, but all the excitement of the crowd overwhelmed the mic. It only made a couple of passes, way too few we all agreed. But wow, just wow … that’s going out in style!

“Where Ya Been?”

Aug 3, 2026 | Random Thoughts

“Precocious” captured by Z 9 / Z600f4TC

I’ve been on the road for a few weeks, so this morning was the first in a long time to make the rounds at The Ranch. I always have apples in my pockets in case the neighbors drop by. First, it was the doe with twins who emptied one pocket, and then it was Precocious, who was born in our front grass two years ago. I’m amazed, just stunned by how big a rach he has already at two. Is it from the steady diet of apples? That I doubt but when he saw me, there was no doubt he was wondering, where ya been?

Crossed Wires

Jul 30, 2026 | B&W Photography, Random Thoughts

Power Poles Rainbow Point, MT captured by Z 8 / Z180-600

Communication is so important! When having a conversation with someone, if you get your wires crossed, too often, confusion is the end result. It often starts with faith in ourselves that gets shaken, and in the process of getting hold of our confidence, choices are made that cause us to take a step back rather than forward. When it comes to having a conversation with our camera bodies, I see too often the same thing happen. Normally, the photograph isn’t what was hoped for when we go click. More often than not, a deep dive into settings is the next step. As if the camera has a mind of its own and is changing settings to make up for the photographer’s weakness. Not only are photos missed as the settings game is played, that smart camera that changed your settings when you weren’t looking must think you’re nuts! That’s can’t be a good result. Start looking inside yourself and not some phantom camera setting to improve your photography. You’ll avoid crossed wires!
