OT: Getting the most out of the Macbook Air

August 9th, 2011

Just a warning if you didn’t figure it out this is going to be a non-photography post.  But still mildly photography related since you can’t do digital photography without a good computer.  I recently got a new 2011 13″ Macbook Air.  I’ve been getting it setup with all the required software and tweaks to get it running the way I like.  I’m upgrading from an aging 15″ Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard on an Intel SSD (no sense in upgrading to Lion if I was going to buy a Macbook Air).

Well the rain here in NE Ohio has been relentless fortunately I made it out to shoot last week.  I had a tough time making images as the forest lacked the clean shots I like to take.  I liked this one because of the detail and color.

I was looking back through some of my files and came across this one and I really liked the abstract nature of this shot and the great color.

Air Show Art

September 24th, 2010

This year at the Reno Air Races the Canadian Snowbirds took center stage.  This was the first time I’ve see the Snowbirds, I must say that I’m impressed.  They don’t fly high performance jets like the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds but they have a fantastic show.   The CT-114 Tutor jets are flown with superb precision and grace.  They fly the tightest formations I’ve ever seen at an airshow. If you get a chance to go see this team perform you won’t be disappointed.
