Clouds...
Thank you. Reflections are cool, and that smooth Sport Class surface is great for this stuff.
One of the things I'm most thankful for is the access that being associated with AAFO.COM has given me over the years. I just happened on a folder of photos that I believe I took specifically to present to Air and Space Smithsonian from the shooting of Thunder over Reno (the movie)
I have one that is truly a treasure to me.. It's of Lyle Shelton sitting in the airplane that he'd allowed someone else to fly (Ron Buccarelli) we asked him for a "pose" and, as always, Lyle was game! Guys like Lyle, Jimmy, Tiger... a bunch of guys really opened doors for me during the time that AAFO.COM was very active (meaning, I didn't hurt all the time and had energy to pursue the story!!)
I don't know if we'll ever see anyone with more balls than the guy in this photo! I can only imagine what it must have been like pushing Rare Bear so far beyond realistic limits, not to mention, around a bunch of other airplanes at 50' over the deck at the Reno National Championship Air Races and Air Show!!!!!
Just realized after it took me nearly 20 minutes to figure out how to size and brand the photo in order to upload it... I learned Photoshop and later did pretty well with CS2 (what I used today) I have just about forgotten EVERYTHING that I know regarding making and maintaining a website!!!
I can't even do the simplest tasks in Photoshop! Well, obviously, I can but, it used to be soooooo easy, second nature and I had batch files that would do a whole folder (branding and such) with my settings.... I guess I just remembered that, so maybe with practice???????
I have a lot of early demntia symptoms... mostly, memory loss! SUCKS!
