Last night, I think it was an ATR on approach.

Here's a couple from Hay River.





And the Tindi ski base in Yellowknife.

Hey, jspitfire, I think I saw some of your shots on airliners.net. Are you posting there as well? Man, you're good with the camera!

[Meatservo]

JSpitfire, you are a photo god. Those pictures are really good.

[jspitfire]

Thanks guys! Just got a new lens, a 100-400mm, and am loving it!

Into the blue, yes I do put a lot of photos on airliners.net, but you'll see a lot of them here first!

Shorts probably weren't the best choice for that December day, but at least I got one without shivering it all to hell.

Nice purchase Jason, I know I love my 100-400mm!

For raven54....some shots with the Tamron 10-24 (and no filter.) You can see the need for a polarizer when the sun is out.
Taken summer '09

A few more.....

Great pics guys, I love checking this thread.

Question - is there a size limit on pics? I hate having to scroll to see the whole picture and it takes away from viewing the pics in full as intended.

No, but not everyone knows how to resize their images down to a manageable size.

[Bushav8er]

True but its pretty simple really, first ask, then try it. You can even use the free, and OS included, MS Paint.

For those that want to know (Win7);

- Right click on the picture you want to resize,
- Select 'Open with...' and choose 'Paint',
- Now the picture is open in Paint, near the top left you'll find 'Resize' - select it, choose the size you want, a max of 1024 px wide seems good, then save (or save copy of to save the original). You can check the size of the picture, even before resizing, on the bottom status bar (px=pixel).

Other Windows versions are slightly different but similar - play with it.

Most forums have limits on file sizes both pixel and bits.

Well... here's some with the new D5000. Still fiddling with settings and such and no editing at all...

The mighty 172 I flew to take these pics...



Some sledders having fun on Catamount Glacier...



Snowpatch Spire in the foreground and the Howsers veiled in cloud behind...



Heli-ski trails on Glacier Dome...

I dont know how I get sucked into doing all these ferry flights...







Over the edge of greenland before the watery jump to Keflavik...



A bunch of the Borek machines in overhaul after a season on the ice.

Hey Slats, great shots! I think I'm sold on the Tamron now!

[HS-748 2A]

Rowdy, is that Revelstoke? Never been there but the perameters and the look of it remind me of an alternate I flight planned for one time. I think it was CYRV.

'48

[Rowdy]

No approach there... and its not revelstoke.. but it is in BC
