Flight training is going really well. I start night flights tomorrow and Cross country flights next week. Thats the plane im flying, Its a Citabria 7eca. How have you been? Haven't seen you on Barf in a while.
Strangely enough, I have been working lately. Nice choice in the training airplane. Citabria's are hard to get primary training in.

I'm not sure if anyone else will think these are cool... I've been dabbling in some long exposure shots of airplanes in the traffic pattern at my school. You can see the light trails of the airplanes while they are on approach.
I have been attempting to upload some of these to airliners.net, but my Photoshop skills are not good enough yet. And apparently these types of pictures lack "motive."

I think those look awesome! Pretty neat how you can see the path of the airplanes on approach and landing. Reminds me of the simulator screen of the instructors.
Btw, second picture, second trail from the bottom, what happened there? Did the pilot do a loop or something? :laff:

Haha, I was trying to determine that too. I think I might have bumped the camera, or there was a slight breeze. These types of photos require the camera to be held perfectly still for long periods of time. Any movement and you'll get those "loops" or squiggly lines

I think it's just the angle of the camera vs. the approach angle of the airplane. A left base approach would cause the right wing to be high in the turn. When the pilot leveled the wings, it may have caused it to look like a loop in this 2D vantage.
