A practical how-to guide to photographing aircraft for anyone from air show enthusiasts to those aspiring to be professional     aviation photographers. Simply defined, aviation photography is the taking photos of airplanes. But behind the scenes of this seemingly simple act are a number of critical elements: aircraft scheduling, lighting, spotting locations, diversions, and sometimes interactions with law enforcement officials. In this guide I will talk about finding locations suitable for photographing aircraft, the equipment I use, camera settings, basic photographic concepts and techniques and discuss basic aviation knowledge in order for you to improve your photography for years to come.

No. 75 2012 Arlington Fly-In

Recap of waking the fight line at EAA Arlington and hot air balloon burn.

This past weekend we where up in Camano Island trying out the fishing gear and canoe for the first time along the west side of Camano Island. After all the rain, sweat and sore muscles we ended up with 1 rock crab that we made into a Potato and crab salad..yumm

Saturday night we drove down to Arlington for dinner then off to the Arlington Municiple Airport for the 2012 Fly-In. I have scene most of the planes and static displays in previous years so the main interest of the night was going to be the Hot Air Balloon Burn.
In previous years there were more participating balloons and a longer and choreographed to music show. This year there were only 4 Balloons and more of a random burn show. Hopefully they will go back to the old format.

Here are the shots from the Night Burn
