The Mustang (Car)

While at the airshow there were "static" displays among which were various auto collections.  I met this young lady and she was willing to have her photo taken in 3D with her Mustang (Ford).

I told her I would post the photos here so she could see how they came out.

All comments welcome.

The Golden Hawks

I went to an Airshow in the Nations Capitol yesterday and this is the first of a number of posts that will feature some of the sites;

Today :  The Royal Canadian Air Force Aerial Performance Team - The Golden Hawks.

In 1959 The Royal Canadian Air Force celebrated its 35th anniversary and 50 years of aviation in Canada. To mark that occasion a team called the Golden Hawks was created and was supplied with 6 Canadair Sabre Mk.5 aircraft and later on the Mk6. The airplanes were gold colored and on each side of the body there was a long red - white hawk. In 1960 due Golden Hawks growing popularity the pilots received new red suits and new patch.

Their airshow lasted for 25 minutes. In spite of having been created for only one year, they remained in existence until Feb 7, 1964, when they were disbanded for financial reasons. They had made 317 air demonstrations and in 1960 they became the first RCAF display team to visit the USA. The team also had one support Canadair CT-133 Silver Star (Canadair built under license T-33 Shooting Star) plane, painted in team's colors.

Please Note:  While the team was disbanded this one aircraft has been restored to the original condition and colours of the team.

Comments always welcome.

Central Experimental Farm and Arboretum

Right in the center of the City of Ottawa is our Experimental Farm and Arboretum, and this all sits on the banks of the Rideau Canal.

Today I was out taking photos for a 3D photo club I belong to and took these photos.  I thought I would share them with you.

The 3D club has a monthly challenge and this month we are supposed to take photos of "something round".  I am having a terrible time finding a suitable subject for the contest but I am getting some nice shots to post here.

Once I finally decide what photo I am going to enter into the competition I will post it here for you to enjoy (or not).

Last Night's Sunset

Just took these two to keep up my HDR skills.  They are so easy to forget, I must keep practicing.

Don't yet know what the next post will be about, but one will be coming soon.
