The Snowbirds will be transitioning from the CT-114 Tutor that they've been flying for the past 55 years. The last CT-114 Tutor entered service 60 years ago. I look forward to seeing the CT-157 Siskin II take their place. #snowbirds #aviation #aircraft

Saskatchewan Legislature at dusk.

A few shots from around Wascana Lake today.

With the 40th anniversary of the Challenger Disaster coming up in a week I’m rereading a book that I’ve read several times, each time I’ve taken something else from it. The book: “Challenger a Major Malfunction” by Malcolm McConnell. Written in 1987.

Taking my mom to her first CFL game, the 60th Labour Day Classic. #YQR #CFL #SSK

The Snowbirds had their hometown show on July 12 at the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport. In the following thread there are 24 pictures I took at the show. #RCAF #MJ #airshow #aircraft #snowbirds 1/7

ETS Flexity Freedom low floor LRT at Mill Wods station in Edmonton. (At the end of my first time riding the line.)

Saskatchewan Legislature Building. Completed in 1912. HDR image composed in #luminar nei. Taken with a #Nikon #Z50 with 18-140mm DX lens. #YQR #Sask

Pineapple, our second youngest cat lying on the bed looking far too serious.

One of our cats, Pineapple laying on a shelf. #nikon #zfc #sigma 18-35 f/1.8 A. FL: 35mm, Aperture: f/1.8, shutter 1/60s, ISO: 800

A rare selfie at the Cold Lake Air Show with a B52H from Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. Taken with a #nikon #z50 and #tokina 11-16 f/2.8 DX II. (FL: 11mm, Aperture: f/11, Shutter Speed: 1/160s, ISO: 100)

Hiroden Type 650 streetcar. 652 was in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 around 4km from the hypocenter of the blast. This is a Japanese #nscale (1:150) model made by Tomytec. #modeltrain #modelrailroad #streetcar

2024 is the year where I caught three foreign air demonstration teams, the Red Arrows (🇬🇧) for my first time, the Frecce Tricolori (🇮🇹) for the second time and the Thunderbirds (🇺🇸) for the third time. #airshow #thunderbirds #redarrows #freccetricolori #aircraft

2024 marked the last year the #CF18Demo would put on shows. The striking scheme commemorated the 100th anniversary of the RCAF, and the evolving (digital) battle space the Canadian Armed Forces operated in. Taken at Gatineau, Quebec.

Ariel, Ursula and Triton from the #lego #littlemermaid Royal Clamshell set. Shot with a Nikon #zfc and 40mm F/2.8 AF-S Micro Lens. Combined in Lightroom Classic to attempt to create an HDR image, but I'm not certain of the results.

If you're in the US, you'll probably fill up on turkey tomorrow. After that, here's a list of model train shows you can check out instead of heading to the crowded mall. ...and if you're outside the US, there's an open house in Toronto that maybe you can check out.

Corsair, Mustang and an under construction control tower during a mid-late 1980s air show at CFB Moose Jaw

CW Firearms. This afternoon my father passed after a year-and-a-half long struggle with his health. He was a police officer for 37 years, and he was also a sport shooter. He taught us how to shoot, and I shared his love of aviation, photography, and the outdoors.

Perfect timing, wrong element to focus on. I chose to follow the 5-plane section of the Red Arrows 5-4 pass. #airshow #redarrows #aviation #jets #aerobatics

Frecce Tricolori on the hot ramp at the Cold Lake Air Show. Converted to black and white. #aircraft #freccetricolori #jet

Some shots at the #yxh Rise Up Hot Air Balloon Festival. All taken with a #nikon #Z50 with the 50-250mm kit lens.

Four shots from last weekend’s CPKC “Final Spike” tour. H-1-b Hudson is pulling a short train through Saskatchewan. Shot at Secretan, Antelope, Reed Lake and Carmichael. #train #locomotive #CPKC

I’ll be knocking off 2/3 of the military Air Demonstration Teams I want to see this year. I’ll only be missing the Blue Angels and the Patrouille de France. If negotiations go well then I may be able to catch the Blue Angles in Fargo.

A simple sunset taken with a Nikon Z50 and the 16-50 DX Z lens.

A few shots of the CPKC Holiday Train arriving in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on the 25th edition of the tour.

A little more fun with the cats. Closeups of Watermelon and Keywee. All shot with a Zfc and 50-250mm lens.

Zfc + 50-250 lens. Three of my cats: Keywee, Watermelon and Pineapple.

Next Friday I get to see my hometown Snowbirds perform for the first time since 2019. (Weather permitting)

Went out and tried getting a couple shots with my Z fc, 18-35 DC | A lens and ND1000 filter. Neither shot worked out as I planned, but I still learned a bit. I’ll try it again with a different filter next time.

Some recent wildlife shots of ducks, a robin and a couple mule deer

Railroading and model railroading are passions of mine, and I hope to be shooting a lot, especially during 2816’s trip from Calgary to Mexico City.

I’ll introduce myself by highlighting some of my photographic passions. First up: aviation. I love spending time shooting at air shows, and airports.
