Terrific images thus far my fine friends. It looks like your invasion of Edwards went very well. Looking forward to more of the same - keep them coming

It was a good day yesterday. I shot lots of stuff I've never seen before.

A couple of weenie roast shots.







Joe, what settings were you using for that C-12 shot? None of mine are sharp. I was shooting no higher than 1/160th, but I still should have done better than I did. Maybe I was channeling the MJF Photography thing.

Scott, I was at 1/250th for the C-12.  One thing I noticed on all my C-12 recovery shots was a ton of heat-haze.  For whatever reason, it was so much more apparent with the C-12s than with any other aircraft we shot.  I was able to sharpen the image into good enough shape for display on the web, but it's not something I'd make a large print of.

Thanks Anna!! That ramp would be very cool to shoot under a full moon. Some really neat stuff sitting on it.

Looks like you guys had a phenomenal first outing to Edwards.  Some great shots of things we don't see at our EC outings.  The shots of that rather un-stealthy looking F-35 doing ordnance testing, great catches!  The circular contrail above the NASA F-8 Supercritical is just the icing on the cake of a great shot too.

Looks like y'all had a REALLY good time out there!  This was one trip I didn't want to miss, but it also wasn't in the cards for me (this time).  Hopefully AzAP has this opportunity again sometime.
