Cherry Festival Airshow 2006 – Navy demo plane. I don’t have any particular reason for posting this one, but I do have a lot of air show photos. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300 lens @ 300mm, 1/500 sec shutter, f/8, ISO 100
Another from a few years back… I mentioned early on that I had lots of airshow pictures. This one is of the Blue Angels from the Cherry Festival Airshow in 2009. The Blue Angels were typically an every other year occurrence there, sometimes substituted by the Airforce Picture taken with… Continue reading
Now, for a few newer pictures from the recent Great Lakes Sea Kayaking Symposium. I was on the trip to the north end of Grand Island in the UP where we got to see and paddle under one of the better rock arches on Lake Superior. Picture taken with Panasonic… Continue reading
Cherry Festival Airshow 2015 – Coast Guard demonstration rescue jump. Last airshow picture for the daily… Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/1000 sec shutter, f/8, ISO 200
Cherry Festival Airshow 2015 – Coast Guard demonstration swimmer. This was taken on day two and for the most part I was kayaking, but I landed for a bit during the Coast Guard rescue demo since I had better location than the day before for pictures. Picture taken with Sony… Continue reading
Cherry Festival Airshow 2015 – Air Force Thunderbirds. I’m surprised I got this picture at all because of how they came over from the side. I believe this was the full afterburner run, thus the orange flame seen in the jet. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @… Continue reading
Cherry Festival Airshow 2015 – Air Force Thunderbirds. These guys were the main event this year (vs. the more common Blue Angels) so I have a few shots of them to share, though I was using the new Sony and the lens I have for it tops out at 200mm… Continue reading
One of the stunt planes from the Cherry Festival Airshow 2015 edition. I like the color scheme of these guys (only showing one of the group of three). Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/1000 sec shutter, f/8, ISO 100
Yesterday’s picture went over well, so here’s a second picture from the same setting. It was taken 18 minutes after the previous photo. Neither has had any color balance adjustment – though the camera apparently doesn’t write its white balance setting to EXIF, so maybe it was on auto and… Continue reading
From 4th of July (actually the 5th) 2013 I hereby present this marvelous sunset over West Grand Traverse Bay. Was sitting at the Open Space (or whatever it’s called now) waiting for fireworks to start. I must have decided that I didn’t want to carry the SLR & accessories through… Continue reading
