Photo Impressions, Photography by Pat Beaudoin, Sioux Lookout

… too fluffy an ad for Goodyear Tires? 

The main event at the Dryden Air Show was The Canadian Forces Snowbirds Jet Demonstration Team.  They put on an excellent show as they are known to do, having highly skilled pilots and technicians along with superior standards.

I’ll have to chalk up this part of the photography to a great learning experience, I failed to do the Snowbirds justice this first time out.  Even with a 400mm lens the planes were small in a group, difficult to focus on and track; just when you think you have focus lock and are following them in closer, they suddenly veer out and the shot’s gone! lol     A clear blue sky would have helped with exposure as well since the light was forever changing.  So many considerations if you are looking for good shots.  The planes are beautiful to behold in the sky… and fast!  

Still in all, an enjoyable afternoon at a well-organized, inspiring event.  Thanks Dryden!

Read about our Canadian Snowbirds and aspire to the images taken by their team photographer.

“What the heck is that” !  Young Bella catches her first glimpse of a large Raven passing overhead.  Bella’s a very sweet Yorkie-Poo and the newest member of my daughter’s family. 

Thanks everyone, for continuing to stop by and leave comments in the absence of  postings this month.  It’s been an extremely busy month and now we’re off on a two-week vacation in Southern Ontario.  Hopefully the trip will be inspiring and I’ll have lots of photos to post when I get back.
