Flights of Fancy

After over a month, I finally dug out the photos from Fleet Week. My first time trying to shoot these bad boys, and with a lens that didn’t quite get me close enough. I still like them. When viewing the photos in original size you can still see a lot of detail. My first plane spotting excursion went decently well I think! Next year I’ll be renting a larger lens. Hopefully I won’t need to wait that long though. I’d love to find a nice spotting area near SFO. Any suggestions?

Lavalier Tests in the Danger Zone

Jets! Blackhawk helicopters! United! Oh my! And also, a very quick and simple test of the Audio-Technica ATR3350 lavalier mics I recently bought. In attempting to test the sound with and without the windscreens, I ended up losing the screens before the test. The quality is still really good, which is promising. It was really windy out there.

I also took a lot of pictures that day, so those should be posted soon as well.
