And the Blues.



Dude...

This one is just sick!  If it weren't for the obstructions along our normal route from west to east we'd have been there for this!  Glad someone took advantage!!!

Just a few for now.  Took another 700 at the drag races Friday.  Thanks to Matt, Joe and Dave for setting this event up for us.

A few of mine...  I haven't gotten  them all processed yet.







I'll post some more when I get them processed.

Taken a break and doing a little photoshoping

[Jay Beckman]

Like Paul, I also started playing around in Photoshop:

[Joe Copalman]

Stepped a bit outside my comfort zone on this one.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Couple of thoughts...

1) I like the treatment a lot however I think I'd knock it down to a nice contrasty B&W before "bronzing" it.  What does it look like straight out of the camera?
2) Clone out the taxiway light just inboard of the plane's right main gear
3) Clone out the sign on the fence in the background

The framing, angle and POV on the jet itself is outstanding!

#6 before the, um... incident.

I wanted to thank Matt, Joe and Dave again for the invite. I always appreciate it and look forward to the next shoot!!

Here's a few edits I put up on FC..

Hope you like 'em!!

My PS contribution.

Michelle,

If you need a desk jockey to man this post, please let me know.  My ear protection deficiencies have long been corrected, and I'm ready to go.

My only request, can we perform a lat-move on it and relocate it to the south side of the runway?

...and he'll need a DSL line run out there as well please...
