Great shot of a Mustang. The Air Show is at the Ex this weekend in
Toronto.

Thanks for the images, George. Great shot of the mustang.

Seen the moon, shot the eclipse, slept through this one. Good job of
capture.

Thanks for the comments Helen and Draco.
The airshow at the CNX should be good, as long as the humidity and smog
levels stay low the shooting should be great.
This is the first lunar eclipse that I have shot without a scope, the
moon was so low in the sky that the seeing was horrific and no sharp
details could be made out. So I decided to go artistic and headed 2
miles from my house and shot the eclipse with a camera lens.

George,
I appolgize for my flip remark about the lunar eclipse. What a
wonderful shot!! I took a second look at it and was blown away. I
guess I didn't scroll down the first time and just saw the moon.
Really enjoy the artistic feel of the image.

Keep at it.

Draco

Hi Draco

No probelm, I didn't find your remark flip at all. Lunar eclipses are
great until you have photographed a bunch of them and then they start to
blend into each other.
Many thanks for the compliment.

George,

I love the "beauty pass" shot of the Mustang , but I can't for the life of
me, understand why they painted that pony
like that. (camo paint, not the "English" insignia) gotta be the sexiest
fighter ever built. (B17 is the sexiest bomber IMHO)

The eclipsed moon photo makes me anxious for some reason. I don't know why,
it's like I feel the need to gaze at your photo
and then crane my neck and look around?! Perhaps I'm just tired, but wow,
love the photo anyway and please keep posting
(same goes to the rest of you fine folks) so I can show the long suffering
wife what I am trying to accomplish.....

Thanks for the compliments.
The paint scheme was done in the colours of the RCAF, and since the bird
is based here it makes sense.
My personal favorite bomber is the Mosquito which had a series of
different rolls from fighter interceptor, aerial rec, bombing, spy
drops, etc.
