After 6.5 months, I finally got my first day photos completed in time for Veteran's Day! Thank you to all of the people that have protected the USA.

All but one were shot on tripod, ISO100, very long exposures with remote release, 20D and 40D, and several lenses; mainly 70-200 2.8 and 17-40.

Check out a few shots from April 17, 2009 - Gallery - http://mlav.com/car/airforcemuseum041709/

The DEFCON ---> B36 image is outstanding.

Thanks. I strolled through that place super slow looking for the next shot. It got dark and then the DEFCON lights came on. Pretty cool!

I just wish it was easier to get a clean B-36 shot.

If you backed up a bit .. perhaps to Wapekaneta, you might get the whole thing in the frame.

Come out to AZ and see the one that's just been put on display down at the Pima Museum in Tucson!

The first time I saw a B-36 was at the Meijer store looking at model cars and planes. It was a 1/72 scale model with a 39" wingspan??!?! Holy $@%&!

Very nice series. I have yet to use a tripod there. Looks as though I'm going to have to break it out one day. Great series!

Nice Shots. I really like museum shots. If I can do two bucket trips I would like to go to as many aircraft Museums as I can. First bucket trip is going to the National parks in the west. I would really like to do both but health and money may slow Me down some. Keep up the good works,Thanks for posting.
