Really great shots. Well processed and presented. Just a side note: You couldn't get me in an Osprey even with a gun in my back.
Nor me ... Tricky to fly and just too many accidents ,, reminds me of the the first CH-47's Chinook by Boeing ..,built in 1961 and went into service in 1962 .., until today , 1180 have been built .., and there was the CH-46 Sea Knight ..,
They had engine and transmission problems killing so many of our young boys ..until they got it fixed ..

Well .., there she is .. My take through my style of photography and editing of a beautiful Lady .. Just visiting her in Pearl Harbor gives you a sense of the history of the wars she was in and her closure at the end of WWII in Tokyo Bay .
Standing on the fantail and looking at the Arizona Memorial gives one goosebumps every time you visit ..
Thanks for looking ….

Standing on a cliff overlooking the angry ocean with 40-50mph gusts shooting at 1000mm at a setting sun while my brother stood behind me keeping me from being blown over , I was able to capture this unusual look … at Mendocino Calif , Pudding Creek Beach …

I’ve been printing on metal and canvas for a log time .., if I ever needed a photo paper print except for reference purposes ,.. I just used my home printer .., Otherwise I use all digital …to deliver to clients ..
Recently , I’ve had so many requests for 8x10 .., 10x14 .., 12x16 etc prints to be done with photo paper and a mat .., put in a plastic sleeve and delivered ..
So of course .., I turned to my metal and canvas people .., boy .., what trash …too dark .., no clarity .., total lack of pazzazzz …I get prints that look like they were gang printed ..Costco who were doing a bang up job printing large metal prints and Pictures Plus here locally really crashed and burned …complete trash .. when it came to printing on photo paper .. their photo paper print quality made it look like I had a disposable camera .. My Digital images are clear .. bright and pop on canvas and metal …just like they do on the digital image downloaded to them ..
I know my work .., it’s not that my monitors are to bright or back lit making my photo to bright .., I use 3 different monitors that don’t lie especially about the clarity ..I’ve seen better print paper prints from Longs ..CVS ,, and Walmart than what I’ve had to return rejected to my metal and canvas suppliers …in the last 2 weeks .., to the tune of almost $300.00 …
I’m going to try MPIX as I’m happy with their metal and canvas work and they come highly rated doing photo paper prints ..
Can anyone with experience getting large Photo prints on paper steer me onto a quality print house … that looks at the digital image sent by the customer and makes sure the photo print being produced is a close match to what the customer expects .., before that ship …can’t they just say they can’t even come close before charging and shipping junk which just gets returned ..
Thnx …in advance …
