It's that time again. The flying season is still in full swing, with fly-ins almost every weekend somewhere close to home and Huckfests still going strong.

Lets see those great shots.

Alright people, Ill be choosing a winner at the end of this month, (thanks!), I really dig the themes weve had going, so for my month Id say that if you have an artistic aircraft shot, it will get you extra brownie points. Basically something more than just your average airplane shot, that is catchy.

OK, there is your assignment. John would like to see the artistic approach to the shots this month. Something that really stands out of the ordinary. Let's see if I can find a few examples I have shot in the past for inspiration. Remember I'm not elegible to win as a staff member. The first three photos were taken a few years back at a private field. The photo with the large flag was taken at the Terre Haute Air Fair in 2007. The rest of the photos were taken at the 2008 Joe Nall.

Those are great shots. Looks like a very long exposure with the photographer or assistant walking around with a hand held flash to highlight the gear then a flash for the aircraft. A couple of the shots the flash on the gear could have been a radio slave on the ground hidden by the gear.
