#3 is so unique. I've never seen a surfing photo with such a stunning (contradictory) background of cumulus clouds. I keep expecting the foreground to change to mountains or the background to change to an inviting recreational oceanside scene. Excellent photo within an outstanding series!

The "tail" casting the shadow is a horizontal stabilizer or synchronized elevator. It is controlled by fore and aft input of the cyclic stick which is the vertically mounted control for the plane of the disc of the main rotor blades(324rpm). Sorry for the digression from this 30 year huey mechanic including a few seasons with the owner of this aircraft, the MT DNRC.

Beautiful, professional results.

I've used 18mm, f6 to f8, 13 to 83 seconds, ISO from 500 to 3200. One capture was f7.1, 46 sec, ISO 3200. Raw, always. The space station is usually slightly brighter than stars but star settings work. I use the ISS app to see when it's passing near a planet or something interesting like Neowise. Practice before the ISS is visible to see that your exposure is good on stars.

Cany, I'm not sure what you're trying to say, could you expand a little, please.

That is very cool! Of course I'm kinda partial. (Wendy Marquis is the artist, she specializes in old pickups)

Very nice results Dean!

I checked it out, thanks for the introduction.

And Norman Rockwell was just another guy that picked up a paintbrush. It's that good. My first overview of the snapshot had his life-scenes popping into my imagination. First, there is someone noticing you capturing the moment. How is it that she replicates the bridge structure, solid, vertical, and giving support? Her partner donning skates and discarding her clogs near an entire gaggle of clogs, only Norman could have imagined the need to morph while leaving the spent skins as a reminder of a former time. Then there's the couple in the distance, he with a blade supported steadiness and she, having been so overwhelmed that she forgot to morph. On it goes, a snapshot becomes a picture of life. Great job. I would love to hang that on a wall, it also belongs in a museum of American life.

The starlight is casting shadows away from you. Too good to be true.

Thanks Poppy and Albeiro. I'll put some time into improving the photo prior to printing. I checked Nation photo printing, they are having a 25% off sale now, not much difference in pricing of metal and lustre.

Thank you Sonny. Good advice and I will give it a shot. I don't have a tracking system but can do multiple shots, I'll study some.

Thank you for your observations and recommendations. I will go back and try some different K adjustments for additional colors. I've rarely printed enlargements, never on metal so I will forego this. The mountain foreground is our backyard so plenty opportunity to make a higher resolution print, hopefully near the next new moon.
