Belgian Air Force F-16 Solo Display Team
The Belgian Air Force F-16 Solo Display Team for 2015-2017 is based at Kleine Brogel AB. The home base of the BAF F-16 Solo Display Team shifts between Kleine Brogel and Florennes AB every two to three years. In 2015 the Florennes team - who had acted as the BAF representatives between 2012 and 2014 - handed over their responsibility to Kleine Brogel AB for showcasing the BAF F-16 Solo Display Team for the coming period. The BAF F-16 Solo Display Team is comprised of personnel from both resident units at Kleine Brogel being 31 and 349 squadrons. Commandant Tom "Gizmo" De Moortel is flying his first season as the display pilot for the BAF F-16 Solo Display Team.
The demo might seem spectacular to the general public, but in fact contains standard F-16 manoeuvres which are flown during practise sessions as operational missions. The only difference between real life operations and this demo is that these manoeuvres are flown in a smooth pattern and at very low altitude. This does mean the demo puts a lot of G forces on the pilot which limits the demo to a maximum of around 15 minutes, giving the audience an overview of the F-16s manoeuvrability and the skills of all F-16 pilots in the Belgian Air Force.
Demo pilot 'Gizmo'
BAF F-16 Solo Dispay Pilot Tom “GIZMO” De Moortel joined the Belgian Air Force in 1996 and started his standard pilot training at Beauvechain Air Base with prom 96A. After completing basic flying training on the Alenia Aermacchi (formerly: SIAI Marchetti) SF-260M/D and basic jet training on the Dassault-Breguet/Dornier Alpha Jet 1B, he received his pilot wings in 1998. He then went to become a C-130 pilot at Melsbroek Air Base but returned to Beauvechain Air Base 2 years later as an Instructor Pilot on the SF-260.
“GIZMO” started his conversion training with the Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) at Kleine Brogel Air Base in 2005 and began flying Lockheed Martin F-16s. He joined 31 squadron at Kleine Brogel Air Base in 2006 and became the Wing Aviation Safety Officer (WASO) there in 2013. He has over 4,400 hours flying of which around 1,500 hrs on the F-16 MLU.
The Jet
The aircraft chosen to be Tom’s companion throughout the season is F-16AM #FA-123. It recently received the so-called MLU M6.1 update making it the most modern of all operational F-16s within the Belgian Air Force. The aircraft received an impressing three-tone gray/black/white colour scheme. The aircraft is called ‘Blizzard’ and the stunning colour scheme is designed so it complements the vortices and smoke winders during the display routine. The idea was – once again - realized by Johan Wolfs and Peter Verheyen together with the KB Paintshop.

Page in a 1970 catalogue from British component importer Evian, an early 5-speed index shifting unit from Simplex for use with a 5-speed Prestige rear gear. One version for top tube mounting, another with a headset mounted bracket. --- I wonder how well these worked?

Many of my so-called friends in Rovaniemi have strated to take hockey pretty damn seriously in recent years. Nothing wrong with that, to each his own, I guess. This friday I went to check out their practice game out of curiosity. Dudes seemed to be enjoying their hobby thoroughly.

Looks like a miniature ... But it is real!!!!
This is my first test whit the Tilt Shift technique (I love it!!!). I used this tutorial to guide me thru www.tiltshiftphotography.net/photoshop-tutorial.php
Hope you enjoy!
I used this as a tutorial walkthrough to learn how to do the fake tilt shift.
the tutorial 'i follwed can be found here recedinghairline.co.uk/tutorials/fakemodel/
Someone used one of my Lighthouse photo's on their website (and credited me - thanks) and from there I found a link to a page all about Donaghadee and the Lighthouse.

Oh no, not again! This is the infamous eMac "raster shift"...
Look at the the screen's top and bottom: the top has shifted up about 2 centimers; the bottom of the screen about 10 cm.
Putting the Mac into sleep-mode by quickly clicking the top-left Apple-logo sometimes proofs to be a temporary solution.
UPDATE
The machine was in repair for 3 weeks, but the problem could not be reproduced. Nevertheless the IVAD-unit was replaced (so I was told), but after 4 evenings and one day of usage the problem with the "raster shift" returned...
A process that has carried on here at the North Fond Du Lac shops for 100+ years under several different railroad flags, members of the CN's workforce depart their livelihood at the end of their shift to head home.
Despite all the streamlining and modernization across the railroad industry over the last 25 years, seeing these old brick shop buildings still standing despite their age is a welcome sight for this railroad historian.
The fact that the railroad also still supports the local community with employment opportunities is another side of this photo that should not be overlooked in todays job slashing world.
one of those crazy days
I agreed to cover a bar shift, I agreed to
shift from social work to serving drinks.
The best margaritas in town, and the best nachos are always a good pull
I just needed the leaves
and the light.
Going through the fall, editing, always surprised, nature always gifts me..
sore feet go away.
What tomorrow requires of me is far away, I have the leaves, and this light.
A month or two ago one of my friends let me tag along when he went out to paint with another graffiti writer friend of his. I decided to use my tilt shift lens to capture it from an interesting perspective. The depth of field was not changed at all in post.

The Art Box is open on the ground level of the Bank of America Tower, at the corner of Six Forks and Dartmouth Roads.
The current installation will last 12 months and features Maya Freelon’s commissioned work, Shifting Seasons.
Shifting Seasons is a site-specific, kinetic installation made completely out of tissue paper. As the title suggests, the artwork will change throughout the year encouraging the public to revisit North Hills and witness the evolution of her artwork.
