Time to dust off this site,grab the cameras and hit the airshow circuit.
Right now,I’m planning on attending the following events: Canadian Warplane Heritage – June 18 &19 – Hamilton Ontario Great Lakes International Air show – June 25 &26 – St. Thomas Ontario Geneseo Airshow – July 9 &[...] It’s been a long time since I posted anything here and,with a day off,I guess it’s time to start again. I’m not usually on the other end of a camera but this picture is special. The gentleman on the right is Dr. James Floyd,a [...] Today’s pick is the result of a happy accident. I was watching a tutorial over at Photojojo which involves using Selective Colour Range in Photoshop. The idea is to use the selection to level the brightness and contrast. Instead of the intended result,I got this. A shot of a Cessna Crane in storage [...] Back from Ottawa. Still smiling even though my Jeep wouldn’t start at the airport and it cost me $52 to get it going. Enough bitching. I had an incredible time at the CAHS meetings. I spent last night at dinner talking to an ex-RCAF Fairey Swordfish pilot who flew them in the mid 40′s. [...] You couldn’t wipe the smile off my face with a hammer. A visit to Vintage Wings of Canada in Gatienau Quebec and a chance to see their fantastic collection of vintage aircraft. A hot day,the smell of exhaust and the sound of magnificent engines. One of the stars is this Supermarine Spitfire Mk. [...] Had a great evening last night at the Canadian Aviation Museum. We were treated to an empty museum and we even got a tour of the storage hanger. I didn’t shoot all 250 pictures –only 233. I’ve got lots of processing to do when I get back home but here’s a little [...] The trusty suitcase has hardly had time to air out but it’s time to hit the road again. This time,however,it’s for fun –not business. I’m off to Ottawa Thursday morning to attend the Canadian Aviation Heritage Society annual general meetings. CAHS is the oldest and largest organization in the world dedicated to the [...] The Wings and Wheels Festival wrapped up and few hours ago and I’m dog tired. Over 40 hours in 4 days has me beat. It was a great show and I really got a lot of good shots. Here we see two Canadian Armed Forces pilots doing what all pilots love to do –[...] Long,long day at the airport working on the Wings and Wheels set-up. I could hardly walk by the time I got home –I’m not used to being on my feet for 10 hours. But it was worth it just for the chance to see a Canadian Armed Forces CF-18 “Hornet”arrive. The [...] No mention of the Toronto Aerospace Museum is complete without the Arrow. Our full-size replica of the Avro CF-105 is the most popular exhibit by far. Normally,the Arrow is cooped up in the restoration hanger but events like Wings and Wheels give us a chance to take her outside for a little fresh [...] | |||||
