Those are amazing. Are any of those HDR?

fnaqzna

Hehe... I tell you what... if you make it to California, I'll take you up. That is... assuming I'm licensed in the next few months.

The first one is HDR, yes.

The second shot is the best, great depth and clarity. The vignette really brings out the light and color.

Nicely done.

I'm doing the FAR/Part 61 training, so it's not exactly a structured curriculum. The difficulty is just getting the time in. I try to fly once a week, but really haven't been that successful on this schedule. Between my instructor's schedule, my schedule, the aircraft maintenance/inspection schedule, and weather, I typically fly every couple of weeks. I've been at this for ten months now, and just starting on the solo cross-country training.

Major talent, fantastic images! I really like two and five.

More terrific images, fnaqzna. I miss the skies out there. I've never seen skies so gorgeous and wide open and inviting in my life.

I really like the 5th - the railroad track.

what lens/body are you shooting those with?

fnaqzna

Thank you. All were shot with a Nikon D50 and a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 lens.

WillyPete

You using a polarizer? Or getting that lovely blue sky and cloud contrast with post processing?

fnaqzna

No polarizer. The lens can account for most of that blue color. I push it a bit further in post processing.

My Nikon really loves blues and greens...I find.

Lovely, lovely, beautiful shots as always. I especially like the train tracks. I love receding lines.
