I love this shot!!,, Thanks for sharing,, along with the History behind it

Nice, ,thanks for the update,, Those old Stinson's are GREAT airplanes,,
oh,, yes,, NOW I see the Stinson in that last shot!! :)

Actually YES,, that is a Stinson 108-3,, with a 165 hp Franklin engine from the factory anyway,, probably from around 1948. I owned a 1947 108-1, which has a smaller tail and a 150 hp Franklin engine.
And thus,, my monikor,, :)

Beautiful series,, Thanks for sharing!!

I had a great time working with the West Ramp crew this year again. All aircraft movement "inside" the display area are controlled by the Volunteers at the West Ramp.
I work with them of photograph their work throughout the show.
But,, I Always take a few shots of the airshow itself ,, just for me :)

The Heritage flight each year is always a favorite of mine, this one with the P-51 and the F-16 was wonderful to watch.
The Canadian Showbirds put on an incredible show several times throughout the week.
The Martin Mars,, WOW ,, is all I can say about that bird.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the nice comments on this shot. It was exciting to capture it.
The F-18 drivers were a great group this year. We had as many as 8 F-18's at the airshow at one time this year.
This is one of them I took as his "Top Gun shot" :)

Thanks again. I will post more Oshkosh shots soon

Thanks everyone for the generous comments!

Hi,, I just got back from the Airventure Air Show in Oshkosh WI, and this is one of my favorite shots from the show.
And F-18 making an entrance on a very cloudy and humid day,,

Not sure if this is the issue, but if you look along the very right hand edge of the screen, you will see a small gray arrow in the center of that edge,
Hitting that arrow can either add or remove that panel as well,,
I have had Lightroom CC for about 18 months now, and after some painful learning curve, I do love it!!

here are the photos I promised,,

There are some great suggestions already posted here. I do Real Estate photography for my Wife's listings in The Minneapolis - St. Paul area.
I have recently purchased a full frame Canon 5D Mark III and love the wide views using my Canon 16-35.

I normally shoot 5 to 7 images for HDR starting at either -3 o4 -4 on the exposure, depending on how much light is coming through window etc,, and go up to +3 or +4
one stop at a time.. (three clicks on the exposure wheel each shot.. ,, lol,, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1 etc,, )
I then combine the images with Lightroom CC,, only 3 clicks of the mouse,, Select the series,, and use Photo Merge HDR,, from the menu.. and it works great.. only minor
adjustments normally after merging.. Normally remove all or most of the glare from outside windows.

I will try to attached a couple taken recently. I hope this is helpful..

Thanks for the great comments

Thanks, I do appreciate the comments!
