It's hit or miss.  That photo on the website is my shot.  I've been doing the sunrise shoot for years and years now, being a part of the museum I'm allowed in early. It's usually overcast, so it depends on if it's worth the price to risk having no sunset.  It's still a great time to shoot the statics without people, but without a tripod a very high ISO is a must sadly.

That's awesome Jim!  So i see you and Britt got to go up together.  I'm jealous of you guys, that looks like a great experience.

Thanks guys! Britt was in a different aircraft. I was in Jeff Pearson's Cessna 190 which is a great little plane considering that it's high-wing with no struts and nice flat glass windows to shoot out of.   :)

These were at 1/60, 1/50 & 1/60 respectively in manual mode.
The last shot was taken by reaching behind the photog on my right with one hand while being careful not to touch anything in the aircraft to impart any vibration.  ;)

I swear Jim we need to change your name to "Cool hand Mumaw".  I can never get over how steady you can keep your shots.  I can't even shot 1/50 sec on the ground without bluing the shot, let alone playing twister in a Cessna.

I still love to tell everyone the story of you wheel chair blur at Miramar.

Yup, Jim definitely has a steady hand. If he had a Barrett and ever went postal we'd all be dead. ;) lol.


The only times I have ever accomplished blur similar to Jim's were all lucky accidents.  <laughing>

You've got to remember this...
Jeff Pearson was doing a great job flying our plane, making small adjustments all the time we were in formation to keep things steady and on course.
Steve Hinton and his son were doing a masterful job at holding position off of our plane.
And, remember this, those aircraft are traveling at the same speed as the camera plane so they appear to be standing still with only the props, ground and clouds moving in relation.
Neat thing is that my little 18-135 kit lens that I used for this has no vibration reduction.  ::)

Well, I am going to take the risk for Saturday morning.. I did this sunrise shoot at Wings over Houston in 2009.  It was just awesome with the light before sunrise and the sunrise early morning light...

Do you know if we were suppose to receive a separate ticket for the sunrise event? I just received one and it was for the general admission.

Here's the first air-to-air photo of Johnny Maloney in the Museum's newly restored and painted (in French Normandie paint scheme) Russian Yak-3 Fighter. And just in time for the PLANES OF FAME AIRSHOW 2010--imagine that!
