My mom and I went to a wilderness photography seminar in Shenandoah National Park this weekend. It was a pretty good mix of "wow, I didn't know that" and "duh." We started with some macro stuff which isn't usually my thing, then we worked on some hyperfocal distance stuff. Here's a couple highlights, would have liked better lighting for both.

Last four aren't working. She already shared them with me but for the rest of the group....
 
Old colleagues of mine flew this flyby at an airshow this past weekend... Not my photo...

So when do you get to drink?

You don't... With my last gig we really were 24/7 except for the 13 days off a quarter whether we wanted them or not...:sarcasm:

Even when I was home I had to call the CP to "ask permission " to have a drink... I played nice, but I'm very happy to say I no longer work there. (my choice)
 
Here are a few from the many I edited of my late night ramp tour the other night, what an experience! I worked the ramp, but Airport ops took me all over the place, from the end of 28L standing where Asiana hit(rocks as high as my foot) to every part of the ramp. One hell of a night!

Pan American DC-3 N877MG at SFO

PAE based DC-3 in Pan Am colors was here as a former CNAC bird which was reunited with 2 100+ year old veterans who flew it over the hump in WWII. One had actually delivered the thing from Douglas!

Classic DC-3 shot. Never thought I'd shoot an active "Pan Am" DC-3 here!

Frontier Airlines A320 N223FR at SFO

New FAA Tower(which I should get a tour of soon!) with a Delta 737-900ER and Frontier A320 in the colors that went from new to old really quick.

US Airways tails at SFO T1

Mesa always seems to end up back at SFO, this time doing LAX flights. N925FJ is sleeping over with 2 US Airways A321s.

American MX ramp by the Superbay hangar. Most of these US Airways and American jets are just spending the night to go out the next day. Glad to catch them mid-merger.

Kalitta Air 747-400BCF N742CK at SFO

Connie starting up for ICN operating for Asiana Cargo. Really hard to catch this one here!

Ameriflight Beech 1900C N21UC at SFO

Amflight B1900C, another hard one to photograph here.

Air Cargo Carriers Shorts 360 N124CA at SFO
by ChasenSFO, on Flickr
Air Cargo Carrier Shorts, all they do is SFO-MHR-SFO. Not really a time building gig but I met guys doing it before and they liked it, one commuted to DFW on his 2 days off.

Ameriflight Metro III N473AF at SFO

I'll finish the set with this manly Metro basking in the amber lights, making it look yellow.

I could see myself enjoying Air Field Ops if I ever get in. :)
