Shadow Shots: The Conversation

I love surprises.  I was going for the animated shadows, but once the file was on the computer I saw the faint rainbow curving through the shot. Can you see it?

Shadow Shots: The Wedding

This shadowy shot was taken at my son's wedding ... and for those of you thinking "WTF?" - yes, that's a real airplane behind the head table. Thought you might enjoy some seeing how the "Wedding in a Hangar" turned out last week.



The place was packed for most of the night, so I had to wait until things had cleared out a bit to get these. We had our doubts about the venue, but once the professional lighting company got done with it it turned out to be quite a dramatic setting. Don't you think?





People were drawn outside to watch model airplanes equipped with LED lights do stunts against the backdrop of a full moon. Sadly, my photos of them didn't turn out, but I did get some decent ones of the biplanes: See those here.



Hope you've all been well - it's good to be back!

Skywatch: Of Brides and Biplanes

The wedding was awesome! The weather held, so the ceremony was outside, the hangar doors were open to showcase the biggest full moon ever, and my son's biplane buddies proceeded to buzz the bride.

(In case you're new here, my son is a pilot and flight center manager whose wedding took place last Saturday inside a hangar, planes included. And it was Cinco de Mayo. Sombreros were involved.)



I didn't focus on photography, because it's too easy to miss the experience when I do that. There a lot of shots I wish now that I had thought to take, but I still got quite a few. Here's the slideshow so far:
