A few from the morning practice... Boss, Kitty and Walleye gave us a thrill on the bales. If I was dumb enough, I swear I could have grabbed the landing gear on the way by as they landed.     It was awesome. Kitty blasted us with a puff of smoke to say hi.


5 has an awesome new maneuver (well, it's a modification to an old one) that is going to be kick ass this season.

Nate that one you got of Boss over the bales is awesome.  Looks like you captured it right at the pefect time.  I give up when he gets that close.  Here are a few of mine.  Sorry if they are duplicates, seeing I was standing right next to Nate.

I messed with that one real quick... like this better? Swung the color balance over on Cyan, on Yellow, and on Green. I don't think there's any purple to it now. Great shot by the way.

The "orbs" are a photoshop thing right?

I thought it was glare/reflection that actually turned out cool.....

The glare from the light was already there, although it washed some of the picture out. I decided I liked it, made a new layer with the light, and erased through the rest of the shot until the light was really brilliant looking. Took me a while but I liked it.

Warbird, here it is again with no green. How about now?

Thats getting closer, in fact, that's by far the best yet  i think the problem stems from shooting in jpeg instead of RAW, that was a really great day for lighting, at times, the big clouds offered some great contrast as well, i really appreciate it Z....THANKS!!!
