Nice tip @moosepeterson.bsky.social. I have had the privilege of seeing this B-25 fly as well. I love the shot was taken with the venerable @Nikon 200-400. I loved that lens when I owned it. So happy the airshow circuit is starting up. Cannot wait to see planes like this in the air again.
Tilt Baby, Tilt! https://wp.me/p6YJx-iSn it's the simplest of techniques that can yield the biggest of results. The challenge is to remember to do it in the heat of shooting. @BedfordCamera @NikonUSA #NikonAmbassador

Every now and then, a visitor will come in, one that is not all that common, and I am lucky enough to capture them on their journey. These are the moments why I spend hours in my backyard studio.

Primarily insectivores and found on the ground the majority of the time, I was pleased this Flicker decided to pause on tree for a few moments allowing click or two.

Precision at its best. Working together as a team, cohesively as one, watching any of our military aerobatic demonstration squadrons is always a real privilege.

Morning Glow https://wp.me/pXFNo-FV in theory can happen everyday. But it doesn't so when you have that glow, one has gotta do something with it. What? @BedfordCamera @NikonUSA #NikonAmbassador
Morning Glow
F7F Tigercat captured by D3x / 24-120 The sun rises every day, but every day, the glow of that light doesn't brighten all the whole world. Light needs to bounce around the heavens, the earth, and everything else it touches for that glow to work its magic. When it comes to shooting on a ramp, when this rare moment occurs, I'm on the hunt for a "bright" aircraft.

Lethal in the skies, a P-51 Mustang is arguably one of the best prop fighters ever made. Used for A2A, strafing, recon and escort, this multi-role fighter provide air superiority in both the ETO and the PTO.

The venerable T-6 Texan trained almost every pilot in WWII prior to checking out in more advanced fighter aircraft. So much fun to fly and photograph.

Camera to Print, episode 2 https://wp.me/p6YJx-iOP 2nd episode, is taking our carefully crafted Nikon Electronic File into ACR. The key is, this is just how I finish my camera captures. It is not, by any means, "the" way to do it.…
