I miss the redtails.
Love that C17 nose-on shot Manny. Great frame!
Thanks Kenny... that darn fire extinguisher was in the wrong place and when I tried to move it, they yelled at me. So out of about 15 different angles I tried, this was the only one that did not block some part of the airframe. I wanted the camera on the ground but... oh well, it begged to be shot this way :-) Ten minutes later it had a C-130 parked next to it for the rest of the weekend so I was lucky.
8 years after my first and only upload, I'm back on a.net :wink: A lil' suprised this made it through, but hey...
Rom, not surprising... that's a cracking shot! ;-)

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Joop,
- Right-click your JP thumbnail and select "copy image location". "Insert a new image" in your message and paste the link.
- Right-click your JP thumbnail again and select "copy link location". Select the image you have created in your message and "insert link" and paste.
Here's your shot:

Joop, the [jetphotos] widget is been turned off due to rendering issues here. So you must do it the old fashioned way as Rom showed above. THUMB+LINK

Caught this big girl on a slow climb out of MSP!
Awesome Manny, That Eva is AMAZING !!!!!
Thanks Kaz... those last three are from The Mounds, 4L departures... not the suggested location but you can't beat the proximity and the angles...
Hang out on a Monday or Tuesday morning, at the mounds, stay in your car... listen to the radio (or just wait to see them pop behind the warehouses) and shoot a few and pop back in your car. Very relaxing actually... and rewarding. From 9:30am to about 1:00pm if they stay on the 4's, you will be nicely rewarded.
Also shooting UP into the sky instead of low from afar gives you a deeper blue sky as opposed to a duller background closer to the horizon!
Is that how you guys get your skies so blue? I always wondered about that. Nice shots Manny. Always enjoy seeing your A.net and JP.net images.Quote:

Just recently got this accepted.
Steve... the BLUE in the sky is NOT REALLY THERE :-) sorry to bust your bubble but the sky is transparent... the blue is an illusion LOL. So you as a photographer have to manage it in order to leverage it.
Rayleigh scattering is the name of the phenomenon... or the effect as is sometimes also known. Light from the sun comes in with a full spectrum, but our atmosphere absorbs quite a few of those wavelengths at different levels and by the time it hits your eyes, it looks blue as those wavelengths are in a part of the spectrum that get through more easily... ever wonder why Blu-Ray players use Blue Lasers? Small wavelengths...
Do this, look somewhere near the Sun... NOT AT IT... but near it. The closer you look near the sun, the whiter the light... angles at 90 degress off axis tend to yield the deepest blues. So sun at your back, 45 degrees up angle and you have beautiful deep blue skies.
One tool is the polarizer. This little baby will filter those photons coming into your camera and disallow any coming in from differnet angles of incidence, so you essentially see less diffuse photons and more directed photons. Also remember in digital SLRs with AutoFocus sensors depending on the linearity of beam splitters, will NOT work with LINEAR polarizers and only with Circular polarizers.
Technically, they achieve a similar effect on film/sensor, but one will destroy your AF capabilities while the other will not affect it.

Thanks for the science lesson Manny :tongue: I know what you're saying. I do thank you for giving the in depth technical explanation of how different angles effect the light entering the camera lens thus making different "illusions" with the color of the sky.
Nice shot Doug... wow!!Quote:

I know Manny. I was just in one of those moods last night where I had to be a wise ass. I actually do enjoy reading your totally anal and overly descriptive posts on here :tongue:Quote:

During a business trip to Boston, I found this small regional airport 1 block away from our facility! Hope I get to return under better weather when the planes are flying.

A new shiny paint job on the typical Southwest 737. The pile on the lower left is dirty snow plowed off the taxiways.

Wow the South West is a really nice image ... Sharp and contrasty and well saturated without being overdone.
Sweet stuff as always Manny! But where was this 4L departure taken from??! :tongue:
