I then turned my attention to the pilot. As you can see, there are times when it was very easy to make him the subject. I went both horizontal and vertical depending on the light and how it was playing on the Stearman. It wasn’t until the last frame you see here that I felt I really got what I was after. I really like the last image, it really tells the story of the experience, the flight.

And after that amazing flight there is the debrief. After that, there is just the exuberant high fives and thrill of the shoot! Our shooting platform, the Sky Van is the perfect backdrop for the students, pilots and instructors of this very successful first of many photo missions of Air2Air Workshops. And tomorrow….five more amazing planes we photographed air-to-air. And wait until next week when I have the videos done…

With the f1.4 success, I wondered down the track looking for more subjects that might lend themselves to the lens and f/stop. This old caboose I have photographed many times and even with that knowledge, I had to make the basic click. It’s just a cool, old car. Then I decided what else I could do with it.

While in real life they are not related in anyway, I saw this very cool ore car on a rail next to the caboose. I backed up until you see what’s here. The ore car is only 10 feet away from the caboose but shooting at f1.4 has a nice feel to it. It’s just a simple, fun click and I like that kinda stuff.

Simply can’t get enough of Nevada City so we headed back this morning. We were greeted with 5degree weather and great light. I headed right to the rail cars on the south side of the depot to play with lines. As you can see the sun was coming up nearly right over the tracks with the cloud cover slightly blocking it. It was a major blinkie so I decide to go HDR. I didn’t want the brightness take the eye there and leave it there. So I did five image, handheld HDR. I really like the lines of the cars but not the distance of the track from the cars, so I moved over.

Then from this angle, I like the track but not the cars. I though about merging the two elements from the two photo in Photoshop but then decided the photo just wasn’t worth it. The one aspect of the shoot I felt good about was deciding to shoot it with the 24f1.4AFS at f1.4. I really like the way the car fades off in the distance. That’s about the only think that does work for me. That and the cold, I loved that!
