Just dropping you a line over a recent journal post I made: [link]

I've always admired your work and you've inspired me in my skills as a photographer, both on and off the tarmac of an air show. You show me what great photography can really be, and what I can do if I work hard enough at it!

^.^

CopperbeltJack In reply to GTX-Media [2010-10-05 05:34:48 +0000 UTC]

Well now that was very, very thoughtful. Thank you extraordinarily much! To be honest, I've been working on my photography since 2006, and all that I've learned are a few things with the technical sides of photography and some tips & tricks. We publish some neat phoot tips in the AirshowStuff Magazine I'm a partner with. Take a look at some of those articles. Your photos are looking pretty good, but just like mine, still have some work ahead; though you're off to a good start.

What really pushed me was a quote from Ed Shipley in a conversation we had over Airshowbuzz.com, "At the end of the day I really think all this art is about story telling. So I would encourage you to make sure that your art conveys a story or emotion." Made me rethink how I got my images.

At any rate, I can't thank you enough for the warm comments and the privellage to be mentioned in your journal entry. I appreciate it all. Thank you again!

GTX-Media In reply to CopperbeltJack [2010-10-05 05:52:39 +0000 UTC]

There are many times I look at some of my more recent photos and I wonder "What possibly is there that I could improve on?", but then I see my older photos and realize I probably thought something similar back then, and I know that certainly I'll find something new.

I'll definitely look up that magazine though.

I started my photography early 2008, technically. I started with a cheap Kodak C743 camera that taught me some of the most basic of basics. When I got my Nikon late 2008, that's when things really started kicking in for me.

And you're welcome with the journal mention. I always make certain to let people know when I appreciate/love their work. ^.^

Here's a very lucky shot that I was able to get. The sun reflected off of the F-15's HUD at the perfect angle.

Oooo.. I missed that one in the daily deviation upload lineup. Great capture, Roger! Of course, I'm a bit biased as the Mud Hen is one of my favorite aircraft.

StormfalconX In reply to CopperbeltJack [2010-09-20 16:54:11 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, Anthony! Glad you like it.

It is a great plane. I prefer any model of the F-15 more than the F-22.

btw oak harbor is my favorite place in the world. got some family there and i feel at home there whenever im visiting. gotta love the prowlers roaring around.

CopperbeltJack In reply to DanNukesAll [2010-09-06 08:18:05 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I do appreciate the kind words.

While NAS Whidbey Is hasn't been one of the places locally I've visited, that'll change (hopefully) in October when I make a photocall base visit so keep your eyes peeled for some highlights from that. And the lagoon there was one of my favorite Summertime vacation spots, as I live on the Olympic Peninsula. And while I'm still pretty far from good ol' Whidbey, I still get to enjoy those P-3s and EA-6Bs as they thunder and roar overhead.

Hey Anthony!

The reason why many people love our air show here in Santa Rosa, CA, is because we do things that most air shows don't do - like letting spectators walk on the flight line to look at the flying warbirds.

When you can do that, you can take shots of P-51s like this:
