C-185 at Fly-in

C-185 at Fly-in  Fly-in/drive-in breakfast season arrives soon in the midwest.  Already, a few airports have offered a free breakfast for fly-in pilots.  Sometimes, it’s a great incentive for pilots with special airplanes like this Cessna C-185 on floats to drop by for breakfast.  Photogs must find airports that provide nice backgrounds for airplane images.  So, if your local airport has nice backgrounds, drop us a line on the contact form, particularly if your local airport is within 200 nautical miles from the Chicago area.

Canada Geese

Canada Geese

Canada Geese  Today’s walkabout was fairly routine until noticing this couple.  They were very quietly waiting along the shore.  Little ones should be coming soon.  In order not to disturb them, I had to walk very wide of my normal path and use my long lens.  Again, the 810mm focal length, provided by using the Nikon 1 V1 with a 70-300mm lens, came in real handy.
