Those of you who follow me on Facebook know the weather threw a wrench into my weekend plans with new snow. Since I couldn’t get out in the yard and get some chores done, I decided to work next to the fire while watching weekend horror flicks (since it was Halloween).

I finally started processing my aviation images from our Oshkosh week back in July. What you see here is a schweeeet Hawker Sea Fury that was part of the “light your fire” airshow. About half way through the show there was a ton of smoke and the sun was playing dodge with the clouds. That combo created a drama in the light that I really like.
When I say process, I mean really cleaning up all the dust in the images. Shooting prop planes I shoot in Shutter Priority normally between 1/90 and 1/125. When you do that on a sunny day, the camera shuts down to f/22 or lower and when you shoot closed down, every freaken little dust particle on the planet shows up in the photos! Since I was camping in a very damp environment, one day I had a ton of dust. So I was able to get about 300 images processed and along with others that I had done since July, managed to get up about a dozen new and update two dozen more on my galleries on my Moose Aviation site (under The Hanger). The site is meant for photobuyers but you just might like a couple of the clicks, there is shy of 1200 images total in the galleries. Better yet, might get you interested in photographing a plane or two. Enjoy!
