Brooks' Photos

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Went out to Tri-Cities Airport after lunch today to see the Collins' Foundation aircraft( I think I spelled that rite). I got there too late though. They were in the process of packing up but I was able to walk around and get a few shots. They are not good but I really enjoyed listening to those radials. We had a front move in while I was there and the sky clouded up somewhat but it was well worth the two hour lunch break.

I really don't have a clue!

Parents surprised my brothers and I with a trip.

Nice stuff Aaron!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thanks guys. I fought the sun cause I couldn't get between it and the aircraft but that's how it goes I guess.

Really nice shots, Aaron!

I can relate to the sun thing...I had a terrible time with environmental conditions at the Redding airshow

Thank you guys. The second shot was an accident. It surprised me how clean it turned out to be.

Love the pan-n-scan shot of the -17 landing/taking off! The plane is in focus, really shows the action going on!

 

[B-17engineer]

Agreed!

Holy Cow! Some great shots, Aaron and i am so-o-o-o jealous. Man, I am missing out on all the fun; you'll have to PM me if you hear about one of these "close encounters" again. Thanks for posting these.

I'm sorry Derek. I didn't find out about it until the last minute myself.

No worries on the pan-n-scan....trying to keep a moving subject centered while your mirror is flipped up is dang near impossible, unless the object is moving on a fixed line perfectly horizontal with the plane of your camera lens, you're using a tripod, and you have the luck of the Irish. Since I tend to be lazy and not bring/utilize my tripod, mine always end up blurry!
