Hi guysss! After a really long *and I mean really really really long time* I'm finally uploading something! x
How quick does the new Nikkor 500mm f/5.6 PF ED VR focus? I was shooting this guy head on....stopped and spun as he went by. One frame on him as he approached the runway. Kill % with this lens is 95%.
A quick one from the other night just before getting ready for bed.
Call me old fashioned but I do still like to wear a slip with some of my dresses, for me I find they help the dress move and hang better, Its also a little bit of luxury that tends to get forgot by the younger woman who see such an item as old and uncool, Problem is as time moves on slips are getting very hard to find.
Oh well good night all xx
When I've been out in the afternoon and then I carry it on into the evening I need to change at least part of my outfit. On this occasion it was my skirt :-)

I made this a couple months ago in a day or 2 just to start dabbling with wing angles (in preparation for this and all that follows). It's nothing special, but was a fun project and I'm really happy with the inner frame in particular.
I find it fun to take apart and put back together small builds like this too.
The following info is from the museums website.
The H-21 was developed in 1949 and five were delivered to the Marine Corps to test as utility aircraft. It quickly earned the nickname "Flying Banana" due to its odd shape. The aircraft is oddly shaped to prevent the rotors from interfering with one another. The designer, Frank Piasecki, was the first person
in the United States to hold a commercial helicopter license. Piasecki Aviation changed its name to Vertol in 1956 and is still designing aircraft as a Boeing division. These early helicopters were used as utility and rescue aircraft in
the Korean War. They had inflatable pontoons on the wheels allowing the aircraft to land on water. Considered to be the first heavy lift helicopter, a modified HU-21 made the first nonstop transcontinental helicopter flight on 24 August
1956.
The museum's HU-21B has serial number 53-4326. According to the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA/RSA), Maxwell AFB, AL, the museum's HU-21B has the following history:

Unofficial sources state that it was seized during a search warrant drug raid on 13 September 1985. It had been abandoned in the Lake Elsinore area by drug transporters and became the property of the Riverside County Sheriff under
Federal Law. It was towed to the museum along public roads early in the morning. It was donated to the museum jointly by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department and the City of Riverside Police Department in 1991.

Amongst the heavy storm clouds that rolled in tonight, there was this small blue opening of the sky with still a bit of sunlight shining through. A little later there was a fantastic red sunset sky also. It is always amazing how the skies change so quickly here.

With a quick swap of bags between equipment, the Edwardsport empties are left for the folks at Bear Run to attend to, and XL is dragged out of the mine for another run to Duke Energy at Fayette.
