Good morning everyone. Something a bit different from yours truly with this being the first in a series of aircraft pictures. All were taken at a recent airshow and since the main "headliner" was the Blue Angels I thought it would be a good way to begin the series.
As for the photos in this series, all are in-flight pictures of different aircraft. I decided before the show to concentrate on photographing planes in-flight versus at static displays. Big gamble on my part since I've never been successful photographing birds in-flight and here I was planning to photograph planes traveling up to 400 MPH or more instead.
Bottom line, while I learned a lot, and in hindsight would do somethings differently, I feel I was relatively successful. More so than I expected and I hope you'll agree to some degree. Either way, it was fun trying something new, and please feel free to offer any constructive feedback/criticism you feel might be helpful. It would be very much appreciated if you did. Thank you.
As for the airshow...it was terrific. First one we've attended in about ten years. Weather was decent, which was surprising since it rained for three days prior to. It was mostly cloudy and a bit hazy due to a relative high humidity, but it could have been worse. The only downside was getting to and from the show...plus parking. Traffic was horrific, plus the show organizers had to scramble at the last minute for alternate parking arrangements since the fields they originally planned on using were flooded and a literal quagmire.
Enough said for now....more later.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you're having a truly nice week.

The downside of a compact system camera is tracking moving subjects especially from a distance but I did manage to capture this reasonable shot of a Sheldrake in flight.
The hugely impressive Basilica of St Gregory the Great or Downside Abbey as it is better known is a Benedictine monastery in Stratton-on-the-Fosse in Somerset. Building was started in the 19th Century and it was completed just after World War I. It has been described as "the most splendid demonstration of the renaissance of Roman Catholicism in England". Downside School, a Catholic school is attached on one side.
In the English language, the term "upside down" is often used. So I will literally turn that on it's head and use "downside up"
More camera rotation faffery where the camera is rotated on it's lens axis during a single continuous photographic exposure. No Photoshop, no AI, only camera rotation.
Same cold morning on Bristol docks. Really clear reflections, disrupted by a rather snooty shagorcormorant. Flipped vertically.

Just some impressions from Rottach-Egern, captured with my Nikon Df and a manual Nikkor Ai 50mm ƒ1:1.2, post processed with VSCO Film Pack.
Marley giving me the loving look as I photograph him being oh so cute and playful. Posted for Happy Caturday's theme of "loving moments". Happy Caturday!
Alstoms pairing of 08721 and 08454 sit between duties outside the new Rail Technology Centre at Ditton, Widnes.
08454 was introduced in December 1958 from BR Derby Works as D3569 and delivered to Burton Depot. The locomotive was later transferred to Derby and operated in the area for the bulk of its early career. Post privatization the loco joined the Alstom Fleet. Whilst at Willesden it gained the attractive Silverlink Trains livery of Purple, Green and Yellow. Following the demise of the Silverlink franchise the loco was painted in to a plain black scheme whilst under repair at Manchester Longsight depot in 2006. It has since had spells at Longsight, Oxley, Wembley and more recently Edge Hill. Following a full overhaul including a repaint in to BR Blue at Eastleigh works in 2016, the loco returned to Edge Hill, Liverpool. With the depot having a reduced requirement for the 08 Shunter and the opening of the new Alstom facility in Widnes, the loco was transferred the short distance (by road) in June 2017 to which the loco is kept busy with the Pendolino repaint programme.
08721 was introduced in June 1960 from BR Crewe works as D3889 and was put to use in the Edinburgh area. However it has had a long association with Manchester, largely being allocated to Longsight since the 1980's. Perhaps more known for the Express Parcels livery it carried up until 2015, when it was outshopped in Plain BR Blue from Eastleigh Works. The loco has carried several names over the years. Under BR ownership when in its Parcels livery it was named 'Starlet'. The loco spent a period out of traffic in the early 2000's but was overhauled and returned to use, receiving a fresh coat of Express Parcels livery. The loco then was named 'M.A Smith'. Following transfer to Liverpool, the loco received the name 'Downside C.S' which it carried throughout its time at Edge Hill. Replaced as the Edge Hill Pilot by 08454 in 2015, it was given a full overhaul at Eastleigh Works. It returned north after a brief running in/cover period at Wembley. The loco was named 'Longsight 175' in early 2016 and took part in the East Lancs small engine event in June 2016. Continuing to go about its business as the Longsight Pilot for a further 13 months before it was surprisingly called to Ditton to assist 08454 in pilot duties. This has seen the loco denamed (at least for now).
I tend to keep my LEGO models in one piece for a long time. This has the obvious downside, though, that I need a lot of space to store and/or display them. The shape of the ceiling limits how many shelves I can put up, but fortunately, my father is quite the handy man and came up with this arrangement. These shelves host the majority of the experimental minifigure scale aircraft I built in the last few years. I think it's really nice to see them all together like this.

The only downside to this is that these ripened berries often drop on the ground and start to ferment, giving a vomit smell! Many trees in the streets of Seoul are female and bearing fruits. Now we have cities where they intended to plant these beautiful trees( golden leaves in autumn) resort to sex choosing so that only male trees with no berries are planted)
For the adventure of some one who had harvested and ate the nuts ; read here.
Taken at the Little Red House. The flowers are coming out in full force. This was taken just before dark and with a 150mm Macro lens. This is the lens I use to take pictures of flower. The downside to this lens is there can't be any movement.

Downside up. I had a shot like this in mind for quite some time now and today I could finally make it real. Spent my lunchtime waiting at the Zebra for bicycles :)
Perhaps the backside of drinking beer. I think the image speaks for itself...
Vielleicht der Biertrinker von hintern gesehen. Ich glaube, das Bild spricht Bänder...
The downside of this location is that unless you arrive by boat, its a good 20 minute walk from either of the 3 ways to get here. So you have to forfeit a second shot should there be one.

Wie bei allen Fotos freue ich mich über Lob, Kritik oder Anregungen. Comments are recommended.
Downside of a windless day on the summit - bugs! Upside - unique perspectives of said bugs as they land on our windows.
The downside to having bird feeders is that sometimes they attract predators that want to eat the birds you're feeding. I just saw this nice looking hawk looking for just such an opportunity.
One of the downside of cruising is on land you spend so much time on a coach ,which can be so frustrating as you just get glimses of your destination, passing all the beauty spots at speed.Wonderful experience though to get an appreciation of a place..Ideal way for a recce for future photography breaks.
We explored the West coast of Mull which was breathtaking.This image was taken through the coach window and is some typical scenery in that area.
Thank you for viewing and any comments.
It's been a fascinating Edinburgh Fringe. I haven't got an exact total...but I think I've taken almost 6000 pics in the last three weeks. This is from the last show I attended on Monday evening.
It features two performers from Kataklo, an athletic dance theatre group from Italy...who appeared in the opening ceremony for the last Winter Olympics. I was able to see the show for free, thanks to knowing the producer (thanks Angella!) and also got permission to photograph it (I'll be making my pictures available to Kataklo).
I'm astonished I was able to get a picture like this. The performers were on a platform high above the stage and this was shot hand held...at 3200 ASA...telephoto at 105mm...relying on autofocus (in almost no light) with a shutter speed of 1/20 sec. I'm seriously impressed with my Canon EOS-5D...image stabilisation really does work! :-)
Oh...I have another picture of a performer from this talented group here: Making it Happen
