Ink! Couldn’t agree more! (Though I’m “air force” 😉 )

Cartoons

I find it a little funny, as a country, being “attacked” by Saudi Arabia, for instance. They simply can not fathom that a “liberal” paper, though “friendly” to the PM, can print whatever they like.
Try bringing a bible through customs in Saudi Arabia!
And by the way nobody are demonstrating and “burning flags” in the streets of these states unless instructed from “above”.

unless anyone requests

B-17 “Shoo – shoo (etc.) – Baby”, a picture, please. My very recently passed away father once flew in her, when he – and she – was in the Royal Danish Air Force. His story, as a passenger, recounts “ripples” running continously from fuselage to wingtip and back on the upper wing surface. He started wondering: “How many times? How long will it last?” I’ve never seen other references to this “vibration” phenomenon before. Was it “standard B-17”?

Charles Brown Picture?

The two “upper left” of Stormbird’s post are Charles Brown’s, I believe. An American sometime ago pointed out the pilot’s shirtsleeves and tie and impeccable Brylcrem hairstyle. (And how he envied the pilot!).

With the quality of pix. from RIAT05 posted here (and otherwise on the forum) –

Why did I lug that big bag of lenses around?

Next year I’ll just lay back in the grass and enjoy it!

There is a thread nearby about the B-29. (Fantastic plane compared to the ones “prewar”.) But that thread about the atomic planes/missions are a little “over the top” for my taste. Thank You for a very balanced discussion here.
I nearly got into a “fight” with a colleague the other day. He being of the “atomic bomb = war crime” persuasion. (But nevertheless very knowledgeable about Japanese war crimes.) In truth I’m in doubt, but find like Sherman? – “War is Hell”. (From the first casualty – military or civilian).

My Canon G3 pushes the lens cap off by itself – clever!
Those Zenith Kodachromes in the loft? What’s the price nowadays for a scanner that “do” slides?

Very instructive! (Even on my very old Toshiba laptop)
If you “take” the photo at the camera’s highest resolution, I find it a good starting point. (You can never make a picture “bigger”, but always smaller).
Next question: Is the “RAW” format really used? (F.ex. by forum members?)
I know there are several professionals here, who have given me valuable advice before.

(By chance a Canon Powershot G3 fell into my lap a couple of years ago. (Just after I bought an EOS 30 (analog)!.) The G3 is the workhorse now. And of course I should’ve gone digital for the SLR/long lens then. Well people like steam engines, Spitfires etc. )
