AMERICAN_767-200_N320AA_LAX_1111.jpg
AMERICAN_767-200_N320AA_LAX_1111.jpgThis photo was not supposed to happen. I photographed it handheld (no tripod), while moving at 10PM, using 6400 ASA, which is really pushing the envelope of my 7D camera. I suppose it's worth sharing, even though the quality is not really up to par- or maybe it is, given the circumstances... -The yellow ribbon on the tail signifies the Thanks To The Troops message on this 767-200
SINGAPORE_A380_9V-SKH_JFK_0412BSOFTsmall.jpg
SINGAPORE_A380_9V-SKH_JFK_0412BSOFTsmall.jpgDigital photography is so forgiving. This photo is actually a bit soft (out of focus), but with reducing the size of the image down to 1000 wide (that is the standard size for all my photos on the web site), it actually shows up incredibly sharp! This particular night featured fierce wind driven rain, making for the toughest photography I've ever undertaken in my 26 years of doing this!
