Thanks Aaron. Sometimes it's just a matter of picking the right spot.

So While I was at Camarillo prior to the Veteran's Day shoot, a guy caught me without me even knowing I was getting photographed.

Like the long hair Eric! Mine's a bit longer these days as well. Looks good when you have a mullet coming out the back of your helmet!

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Nov 16, 2011

Just be glad it's not dreadlocs Joe.

evangilder · Nov 17, 2011

After flying with canopy open, it's damn close to dreadlocks, it's a tangled mess. The guys I fly with rib me about it all the time, but if I cut it, they'd find something else to rib my about.

hehe, yep, the pain is when you don't get all the hair in the helmet and it's flying around in your face. I have come close to cutting it a few times, but it's for the kids.

In putting together some photos for my online print store, I found a few photos that looked great at full size, but not as great smaller. Here are the smaller versions, which look just okay this size. In a large format, they look pretty cool. The lighting makes a couple of them pretty dark and moody, but I like it.

Gnomey · Nov 17, 2011

Cool shots!

Always been a fan of dark and moody shots myself.

Awesome effort, Evan! That shot of the gaggle of Nanchangs looks pretty menacing above that destroyer. There's a fleet of the things at my local airfield and at airshows, with a bit of artistic licence and a few big red circle decals, the Nanchangs play the IJN in mock attack scenarios

Keep it up, my man!

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Nov 17, 2011

I like those Eric, alot!

evangilder · Nov 17, 2011

Thanks guys. I wish I could have caught them over the destroyer. That's actually an oil drilling platform off the coast of Santa Barbara. It is hard to tell in the smaller size.

Shinpachi · Nov 18, 2011

Target the oil drilling platform wow!

Okay gents, I have a favor to ask. I have had several people encouraged me to submit to the National Geographic photo contest. I want to submit one or two, but want to make sure I only send what you guys think are my best. It has to be taken in the last couple of years. If you guys can think of a photo, or two, that have stood out from me in the last couple of years, let me know. I have to submit by November 30.

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Nov 19, 2011

Will do some looking and make my suggestion, they all stand out to me but see if I can't narrow it down.

evangilder · Nov 19, 2011

Thanks, it's hard for me to judge them as I am the one who did it, and I am more critical of my own stuff.

Gnomey · Nov 19, 2011

Would perhaps be an idea to post the ones you think are best as well for us to pick from them. I have been meaning to the same thing.

vikingBerserker · Nov 19, 2011

Dang, this will NOT be easy.

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Nov 19, 2011

Your telling me! I've been looking through them for a while now and still can't decide.

Shinpachi · Nov 21, 2011

My quick checking your posts, Eric, by the date of 08-31-2006 tells -

I may try the rest...Wow!

evangilder · Nov 21, 2011

Thanks guys. I am looking through mine as well and trying to narrow down to a few choices.

evangilder · Nov 25, 2011

The feast yesterday was great. I got to shoot the most challenging thing...children! Here are a few things I photographed yesterday, including the sunset.

GrauGeist · Nov 25, 2011

That looked like a really cool sunset, awesome colors! You should have climbed onto the roof to clear the rooftops!!

Great job with the young'uns...for me, they're hard to keep still long enough to get in a decent shot (I'd rather attempt a high-speed pass from a CF-18!) though it's my sister who excels at kids/small animals/people, etc!

As far as a memorable shot, you took a shot over the ocean during a flight a few years back. If I remember right, it was the Stearman against the ocean, lit by the afternoon sun...that ring a bell? That would definately be my suggestion!

National Geographic also has a user gallery (I have a series of shots there) that you might like to show off your work with
