[Theme] have you got a thing that can fly?

[Jørgen Ramskov]

That's a pretty cool trick! That logo is well known outside Germany too

[Anthony]

Never seen it, don't know the logo, but I do enjoy the images.

[Akira]

Thomas, nice image, especially with the moon!

Googled "Flogos".  The results are fascinating!

[Thomas G]

Thank you, guys! Your response is very motivating.
Here is another, showing the joy these air floating foames generate.

Yeah, I know, it's too small...

[Thomas G]

Yeah, I know, it's too small...

Haha, great! Mood, moon, plane. I like the tree silhouette lighting.

Thanks, Thomas!  I had to crop to 1/2 of the original frame to "magnify" the moon and the jet a bit.

Sunrise, Cascade Lake, Idaho.  The plane is a Beechcraft Bonanza.  Fuji X-E2 and Fuji 14mm lens, shot at f/4.5.

If I only could fly away from this misery

Zeiss 135mm APO. D810.  Hand held.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

A small airplane has just alighted from the local airstrip and banks over the 13th Century Heddal Stave Church, the largest remaining of its kind in Norway.

[Tom Gresham]

I'm fairly new to the Zeiss lenses, but I continue to be impressed.

This is the 15mm Distagon on a D810.  I applied a graduated neutral density filter in PS (NIK collection filter) to bring out the sky.  Otherwise, this is pretty much as shot.  To my eye, it almost looks like some sort of composite.  Depth?  I don't know.

[Jakov Minić]

Very dramatic and graphical Bjørn.
Tom, are you a pilot?

[Tom Gresham]

Jakov,

I am a private (not commercial) pilot.  I fly a single engine plane for a number of trips around the U.S.  I have been flying for 31 years.  Along with photography, it's one of my passions.   We shot video out of my plane (cargo doors removed) for air-to-air shots of about 100 planes when I was producing a series on aviation.  Had a ball doing that.
