Nikon D200 Soup | Float Plane Weekend This Piper Super Cub is taking off by trying to lift one float up first then the other. A PA-18 Piper Super Cub on floats can take-off from relatively small lakes. Northern Michigan provides some beautiful lake front backgrounds when capturing floatplane images. Wonder how the Super Cub got such a distinctive N number. See Floatplane Weekend | a 7 Image Story for more floatplane images.
The Back Story This image came from a burst of clicks from a boat while panning. Another reason why good panning skills and recent practice are necessary to capture certain types of images. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
