Getting away

I'm packin' up the whole family today and heading up to one of my favorite places on earth; Yosemite. We've postponed this trip 3 or 4 times this year, but now we're doing it. I've never been this late in the year, so I'm super excited to see what Fall in Yosemite looks like. I won't be posting anymore this week, but rest assured that I will be taking enough pictures to feed the blog for months to come! I'll leave you with an image from Yosemite that I took several years ago. Have a great week.

Oh, I probably will be on Twitter from time to time, so if you want to keep up while I'm gone just head over to twitter.com/fxmixer.

Low pressure

Global Hawk HDR

Ok, this is my last post from the airshow. Probably. Maybe. Anyway, this is another HDR, but this time it's from a single file that I processed three times. How's that for fancy! Have a great week, and look for some non-airplane related posts in the very near future.

Too soon

High flying action!

*Warning, lots of pictures!*

I wanted to show the awesome variety of aircraft that were flown at the Edwards Air Show. Here are some of my favorites. If you can name all of them, you win a prize! Not really, but give yourself a hearty pat on the back.

I had to show the P-38 twice, cuz it's my all time favorite.

Airshow HDR's

On Saturday I went with my dad and oldest son to Edwards Air Force Base for an airshow. I went to Edwards about 12 years ago for an airshow and it was the best I had ever seen. Hi, I'm Marshall, and I'm an airshow junkie. I've loved planes, especially military planes, all my life so any chance I get to see them up close is a no brainer. This year's show didn't disappoint. As soon as the first jet flew by with afterburner glowing and mind warping sound, I was a kid again. I looked like a total dork with two cameras and a big floppy hat, but I didn't care because I was having such an awesome time. My son had a million questions and I loved answering them all. I'm sure it was no different than the first time my dad took me to an airshow; all wide-eyed and full of wonder and questions.

I'll be posting more pictures over the coming weeks, but I wanted to put a few of my favorites so far. These are all HDR images made from three exposures each. It's fun experimenting with new techniques and pushing myself!
