We had a beautiful day in Atlanta yesterday so I stopped by PDK for a few hours of aviation photography practice using my NikonZ9 with a Nikkor Z100-400S & Z1.4X TC. I am surprised at how sharp the resulting images are, even when shot at 560mm & f/8. #aviationphotography #aviationphotographer #z9

Panning with a Lear 60. Got in some practice at PDK Atlanta last sunday. It took a while to knock the rust off! Nikon Z8 with a Nikkor 500mm f/5.6 PF @ 1/50 sec, f/20, ISO100. #lear60 #businessaviation #panningphotography #slowshutterspeedphotography #aviationphotography #learjet #nikonz8 #z8

Yes!

Catherine O’Hara, ‘Schitt’s Creek’ and ‘Home Alone’ Star, Dies at 71 Catherine O'Hara, a legendary Hollywood actor known for her roles in 'Schitt's Creek' and 'Home Alone,' has died. She was 71.

I am so sad to learn of Catherine O’Hara's passing. From SCTV to Home Alone and Schitts Creek, so many great roles. She was incredibly funny and a truly talented actress: variety.com/2026/tv/news...

The 50th Anniversary F-16 Viper livery is, hands down, one of my all-time favorites. More than pretty paint, it’s a visual homage to the original YF-16 prototype that first flew in 1974 and changed the trajectory of fighter design forever.

More shots from yesterdays PDK practice and this time I'm sharing some of my panning shots. Slow shutter speed panning is a perishable skill so I was very rusty at the beginning. My ususal approach is to start panning at 1/100 sec and work my way down to 1/20 sec. Nikon Z8 with a Nikkor 500 f/5.6 PF

I finally had a beautiful afternoon, so I headed over to PDK Atlanta to shake off the rust and get some practice in. Winter light and crisp, clear air came together in the best way, making it a perfect day to photograph airplanes. #pdkatlanta #aviationphotography #airplanes #aircraft #aviation
