Plenty of San Diegans wondering if this will ever work. I dig the tail.

Desert sunrise a few mornings ago.

Waiting for the inbound at LAX yesterday, for our go-home leg.

Wow. Those are stunning. Did you do any effect work on those at all or are they natural?

Thanks! No HDR, or anything like that. I tweaked the "curves" feature in GIMP just a little bit, but the weather itself was pretty fantastic!

Saw that at Palomar a couple days ago. I thought they got their cert a while ago to begin flights. But I was told it still just sits there.

Last I heard there was another snag with the FAA so the official start-up has been pushed back (again) until 2013 sometime.

Yeah. I know. I was at 4 innings of that game before I had to leave for an appointment.

Here's hoping they can salvage it today.

Is that a Copa 1900?

Looks like a nice facility they have there.

Adler, what kind of camera did you use for that night shot, and what settings? I've tried to get a shot of the milky way with my NEX 5N and all I get are faint stars, even with a 30 sec exposure and f3.5.

you want to limit the exposure time to prevent star trails, and use a high ISO. read up on image stacking. try 10 second, f/5.6 and iso 3200 (unless it kills the color/creates too much noise.

High ISO...

Canon T1i 30 second f/3.5 18mm 3200 ISO

 

[SuperCubRick]

Ah gotcha, I think I tried mine at a low ISO thinking the long exposure would make up for it. I'll try 3200 or 6400 next time. The NEX 5N performs very well at high ISO.
