EXIF data (if its correct) is showing 420mm for the last photo posted.

Nice shots btw

Not the greatest picture quality , but some fun times at work!
formation ferrying of a caravan and navajo and the other picture is me bored at work moving the planes around!

Rowdy;

Most are at various lengths, depending on which lens setup. That last one (F-18) would have been @ 546mm with my new lens.

Andy, nice to see your work here.
Is that last one with a lens-baby?

Thanks!
But...
All 3 pictures were taken with a iPhone 4, then afterwards I played with them.
That last one was taken in a very sunny spring day in may.
The first two were taken this Sunday a few miles north of Montreal.

Can't afford nice photo equipment now so I try I make the best with what I got.

Andy

Those are some nice pictures Andy. Just tell us you were going for that '70s grainy artsy look.

70ies all the way!!!

i was born a bit too late i guess!

@KBFI

Wow! Glad she ended up in a good home. It was starting to look a bit tired at the North end of YYZ a couple of years ago.

Am I allowed to post my own photos to the "Excellent Photos" thread? If not, feel free to move them. Two from the forest fires in Timmins, ON a few years back.

Nice shots of that Timmons fire. That's me in both those photos.

Wish I could but I'm retired now after 30 years with them.

Awesome shots Laurie. Oh, how I dream of getting there someday! For now I'll have to settle for home.
