Warm January evening in Ontario.

Wow! Looks even nicer on skis.

[chicken hawk]

Not too bad eh? It's the most fun I've had flying in a long time.

Night shot.

Is that done via camera or via software? And how? STL. Loved the picture from your deck, you are very fortunate to have that view.

[enbt]

It's done in camera. Use the "bulb" setting in manual mode (in bulb the shutter will stay open until you turn it off). Compose your shot and put the camera on a tripod, set the aperture to whatever you want - I was using f/8 in this case, ISO 200 - and go listen to your iPod for an hour and a half. Exposing a shot like this is always a bit of a guess, just a matter of trial and error (mostly error). I have noticed that digital cameras don't handle long exposures real well (compared to film), they are real noisy even at a low ISO. Also battery power can be an issue especially if it is cold at all. For a real long exposure like that it helps if there is no moon or ambient light of any kind.

Last of this bunch- taken with avcanada's own MichaelP at the wheel:

[just curious]

I presume that MichealP haveing taught the Level part previously, was now teaching the Straight part of flying.

[just add water]

The Flying washing line... Standard STC upgrade to any aircraft, get one for your 172 today and have your underwear dry in a matter of minutes!

[mr.jinks]

I was a bit slow on the uptake, so he broke it down into a two step process for me.

QEH looks resplendent in her new togs! Not bad for an airplane closing in on 20,000 hours!

[mr.jinks]

I knew i should have made it a little tougher! here are a few more of her new livery

[mattedfred]

i think mark reid did my float rating in QEH on whitewater lake back in 1994

[mr.jinks]

That is one name I haven't heard of yet!... I'll have to look through the logs.... It would be fantastic to see everyone on avcanada who has flown in QEH or YKA post something here! QEH is close to 20000 hours. there must be a few of you here. In QEH's first log book Mel logged his first hour when she just had about 5hrs since new!. He pokes his nose around here every now and again... If anybody has any thing to pass on to him, i'll make sure he gets the message.

Tell him JPJ is still going strong!



I never flew QEH but Mel taught my father to fly in the early 60's and his is the first name in my journey log. He logged over 28,000 hours and never dented a plane! I haven't seen him in a few years but we still think of him often.

[mr.jinks]

I will let him know JPJ is still flying. PM me if you want me to pass on names!

Hey 185


Nice shots, well done. I particularly like #3, would be a great long narrow crop. Where were they all taken?
