That is one fine shot!

I hadn't looked at his work before, I see he's done plane panoramas too, from wing to wing they look impressive. We have an airport nearby I get a lot of planes flying by. We had an airshow once -- before I had my 400mm.. I didn't have to leave the front yard since the airport is so close by, but I had to photograph with a 90mm at the time. However sharp it is, there's a limit.

I don't follow many photographers, but there's one fellow who I have some wallpapers for my desktop from, Greg Martin. He makes some fine ones available for free. Let me see how he's doing now, I see he has an exhibition in the works, 'Views of the Pacific Northwest'.
Wow! Many of his photos are of the Hood River Valley. I have long said that Oak Creek Canyon is the most beautiful place I have visited in the ISA and that the Hood River Valley is #2. One year I arrived during the mountain Spring and photographed miles of .eadows anf mountain with varied wild flowers. Unfortunately none of those are digitized---another project.

It's all quite inspiring!

I shall have to get that better tripod setup and try to do a big panorama too. If the sky cooperates next week I'll see what I can do from the backyard. Some very gray days lately. Some of the haze might even be due to smoke from the fires out west travelling here, so I'm told. God help them. I have family out there too.

This has been enjoyable thread. Glad we got to share some pictures and see people enjoy the sights.

When I was an undergrad, our university museum had an exhibition of aerial photography. For the life of me I cannot recall the name of the photographer, but his work was inspiring. Eventually, though I became a pilot, I was never able to approach, much less exceed the quality of his work. It was just too hard to fly safely while composing photographs. I should have done it with another pilot.



Here's one from the Nikon site:

I read about some photographers paying for helicopter and low flying plane rides to get some shots, I think drones might be taking some of that business now.

I have no cityscape shots -- a missing genre, I'd appreciate having someday.

You've must've seen quite some sights as a pilot.

Since you're a pilot -- Here's two from the air show I saved -- at 90mm. I can't identify the planes, I know I IDed some of them back but memory fails me.

It's been enjoyable looking at the old air show photos.

Well today's my next doctor's appointment. I pray all goes well. Lots of prayers. And you too Mark79. Hope you're continuing to be on the mend Mark, you've been through a lot.

Thanks again for the prayers my friends and family in Christ. I really appreciate it beyond words.
