It's that time of year again, Calendar time. I have created 2 calendars for 2009 so far, with more on the way. Here is a preview of the first 2.

A little morning photoshop fun...

They call it "invisible man" or "Ghost" photos. I just think it is an updated Aha video (for those that remember that video)

 

[Lucky13]

Yeah, remember that video...lol! NICE calendars buddy!

 

[evangilder]

Thanks lucky. I can't seem to find the sweet spot for calendars. I release them too early, and people forget. Too late, and they don't get ordered either. The first time I did them, 2007, I sold quite a few. 2008, less by over 50%. This year has been stellar with a big goose egg, which I thought would not be the case. I thought at least the pilots of those planes would want one.

Oh well, it doesn't cost me anything but time to make them. So if they sell, great, if not, no biggie. I just wish I could figure out how to get them to Barnes and Noble or Borders. Then I might sell a few.

Another of my photos selected for a computer based jigsaw puzzle:

Great stuff Eric, thanks mate!

 

[Gnomey]

Good stuff Eric!

 

[evangilder]

Thanks guys. It was probably a year or so ago when I was asked to use one of my photos for a puzzle the first time. They're kind of fun.

 

[Wayne Little]

That's really cool Eric!

Here is what the displays looked like that featured my photos at OshKosh, thanks to Courtesy Aircraft for displaying them!

 

[Gnomey]

Very nice Eric!

 

[Wayne Little]

Top stuff Eric, you must be proud when dispays like this show off your fantastic photography work!

 

[evangilder]

Yeah I am pretty proud of that one. Being on display at OshKosh is pretty big. I have sent some photos out for the photo contest with ICAS (International Council of Air Shows). We'll see what happens.

 

[Heinz]

Good luck!

So if the one on the left is Lucky......then who is the other one?

 

[Airframes]

Nice pics Eric. Have you tried the 'open - flash' technique, although I don't know if it would work properly with digital cameras?

[evangilder]

I very rarely play with flash at all, to be honest. I prefer to use the available lighting for a more natural look. Although I have used flash for filler on cloudy days for static shots.
