Title: Oshkosh AirVenture 2013
Post by: cholubaz on July 09, 2013, 10:34:57 AM
Hey are any of you planning on attending Oshkosh AirVenture 2013?
This will be my third year going and I'll be there from Thur to Sun. Aug 1st - 4th.
Camping on site at Camp Scholler as usual which in my opinion is the only way to do Oshkosh unless you fly in and get to camp under the wing of your plane. :-)
Anyway if your going to be there let me know and we can get together and shoot some planes together.

Cheers,
Chris

I guess none of you were there this year. It was a excellent show as usual. I have about 40 Gigs of pictures and as I find ones I like I will put them here.
I hope you like them too. :-) Comments and critiques are welcome.

Let's start off by saying hi to one of our own AZ residents Kirby Chambliss

Solid set of shots, Chris!

Jay Beckman was out there all week, but is still on the road coming back.  What's he's posted so far from his laptop has been pretty awesome, I'm sure he'll start posting shots from OSH once he gets back.

Looking forward to seeing his for sure.

"Missed It By That Much..."
Skip Stewart and Melissa Pemberton perform the opposing inverted ribbon cut during a "Tinstix" routine.  To the eye, they nailed it, but the camera proves they missed by a nanosecond crossing each other just north of the poles holding the ribbons.

Thanks very much...  One benefit of getting off show center and moving north or south is some alternate angles on stuff and the ability to get "two-fers" like the P-40/Zeke.

Chris, your images are every bit as valid as mine.  We were both there, and we're simply showing things as we each saw them...

As for processing lessons, well, I could do that, but then I'd have to convince you and everyone else that I actually know what I'm doing and that's suspect at best...

We've actually been talking for quite some time about having a get-together where anybody who cared to could share their editing process with everyone else, many-ways-to-skin-a-cat and all.  That discussion kind of died out, but this might be a good time to talk about it again and see if we can make something work.

And Chris, your shots are pretty solid and definitely worthy of inclusion here.  Please, if you have more, keep posting.  Loving both yours and Jay's Oshkosh shots.

I wouldn't be above doing a processing workshop, but like I said, I can only offer ideas on how to use the tools I have.  I can't really begin to say that there's an A, B, C, D, E... process to what I do.  I'm entirely "To Taste" in how I approach my images...

If everything at Oshkosh was a Harrier, the brown trucks parked across the way would be so much less of a hassle...

Dang Jay, if that fine portrait were any sharper my eyes would bleed!  Gotta love that soft background.  That 200-400mm appears to be a winner at least in your hands.  Anna seems to have taken good advantage of its fine qualities as well.  I can see where this is going......

There's some truth to that!  Great shot of my favorite version of the Harrier.  Would love to see that some day.

Jay, that Harrier shot is outstanding, it turned those trucks to mush. You save a lot of people a lot of money on travel. We can just wait for your photos of Oshkosh. Thank you!  ;D
