a jet black Beachcraft Bonanza about 10 to 15 feet
off the ground ........ no tail numbers that I could
see. This continues for several seconds and then he
applies power, pulls up, and is gone.


This is like an aerial version of being hounded by
large shiny black SUVs, full of men-in-black, that
then disappear at speed not generally attained by
large SUVs ? Watch your back, and always know
where the nearest three exits are located. So you
saw no tail number but he got your plate number.

If you had raised a camera, you might've got hit
by a Griffin missile :-(

Trying to get a selfie on a foot bridge in Oregon set the
timer and ran back to the spot , everything was wet, hit
the bridge and lost footing when trying to stop. I ended
up taking a pic of me falling backwards in mid air .


Surely I am not the only one here waiting for
you to post your flying selfie ? No criticism of
technique. I promise. Heck, I already admire
the technique, without even seeing the result !

At the time it was a bit unnerving I have to say.

Maybe it was the Free Mexican Air Force ?
You shoulda doubled back to see if they'd
dropped a package !

Yeah, that's like being down at the Ft. Lauderdale airport over in the general aviation section at about 3:00 a.m. and seeing a private jet sitting next to a hanger with a Roles Royce next to it with the trunk open and people taking boxes out of the jet and throwing them in the RR trunk. (True story.)

The moral of that story is: Please God, just let me get out of here and I pray they don't see me!

What are some of your weird photo experiences?

I've had 3 that come to mind. It so happens all 3 happened while driving. No, I was not the one taking the pictures. I drive truck for a living which is where the first two happened. My first was I was cruising down the freeway when this car slowly passing in the lane next to me slowed down to pace me. I looked and the guy in the passenger seat was indicating he wanted to take pictures or me diving. They paced me a little more than as they sped back up they waved thanks. My second I was with a different company and pulling double stainless steel tankers fresh from a wash. Again I'm just cruising down the freeway when a topless jeep with 2 guys starts passing me. They get almost to the cab when they slow down and start falling back. I'm thinking, great, someone that's always changing speed. They got back to my back trailer then stated pacing me. Then the passenger reaches back and comes back around with a camera and starts taking pictures of their reflection in my trailer. The third one I'm driving down a 2 lane country road in my bright red F350 4X4 crewcab with running boards. I see down the road a bride and a photographer in the road taking pictures in the opposing lane. I of course slow down so I can safely pass. When I get close they flag me to stop. She starts posing like she's running for the truck, then grabs the back door handle. To help play it up I hit the button to unlock the doors. She opens the door, puts a foot on the running board, and poses for a few more shots. Then she steps up like she's diving into the back seat for a few more pictures. She tells me thanks, I tell her congratulations, she steps out, closes the door, and gets out from in front of the camera. The photographer gets a few more shots of my truck as I drive off. I have absolutely no idea who they were.

Perfect time for a 200mm f2.
