Today's B-log The second time this week I have made the two hour drive from my Dad's house direct to Perth. It's beginning to get to be a habit that I don't want but Saturday looked like being the best day of the weekend and I had to make the trip. Having a stroke victim of a father isn't much fun a...

I had the opportunity to make a presentation to my local camera club last night on the Photoshop Sky Replacement tool and it raised some points that is worth sharing. The Tool comes with a set number of skies, you can add your own as the default ones will become very hackneyed to the discerning view...

A spot of aviation photo-therapy today.

I've been needing a semi-decent day's worth of aviation photo-therapy for a while and I got a bot of what I needed on Thursday. Here's my photo log of the day...

Composite photos are nothing new, however I am fundamentally with the previous posters. The likes of Luminar and it's fantastic sky replacement tool is just not "natural" enough for me, if it needs be, I don't mind dodging and burning a sky that was there when the photo was taken. Anyway, at the end...

Scone (Skoon) or Perth Airport, is the largest GA field in Scotland, with three runways to play with; two hard and one grass, which is usually unavailable in the winter due to waterlogging.

A short period of unavailability, which to be honest does not happen all that often...apart from the occasional Bad Panda episode. I was wondering thought, what I'd do if I'd sunk all my efforts into a personal web site and what I would do if it went down. The answer is, there's not that much I coul...

Enjoying a nice sunny start and an grey overcast end tot he day with a reasonably busy day today movements wise with a few visitors.

Not much doing today, visitor wise but it did give me a small opportunity for some much needed photo therapy, so... Just came on line with the ACS fleet is this former Prestwick Warrior https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50437719227_ffdf79ad22_h.jpg G-BOAH Warrior , Scone by Wallace Shackleton , on...

It turned out to be a nice day, since I managed to get myself turned out into the fresh air and winter sunshine.

I was gutted when I took the phone call saying they were going to Dundee instead of Perth. Ah well you win some, you loose some.
Nice set of pictures Baz...and nice to see things with aluminium wings instead of feathers for a change!

Fuji X-Pro3 and Affinity Photo

How to put the content into the context and not end up with the photo of the underside of a Spitfire with no relation to where it was taken... and this one was a failure. I guessed rightly the route but I cocked up on the timing and the composition, still, it's an interesting failure. For the record...

Well this would have been a glorious day for the Leuchars (nee Battle of Britain) Airshow has it not been cancelled and the base turned into a barracks with runways. Anyway I was meant to be helping out today at Scone on what could have been a busy day but it was reasonably quiet and well behaved, s...

I was planning on going for a large chunk of motorbike therapy today but put it off due to the weather up north...maybe tomorrow... So I went to my local instead. Some of these pics are not quite what I want quality wise, I'm still getting to grips with the XT3, Capture One and finding a decent colo...

A trip up to my local today for some photo therapy. A visitor from Glasgow was this Tomahawk, the guys making a the flight up from Glasgow Airport. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50206708198_bff1eef354_h.jpg G-BGIG Tomahawk , Scone by Wallace Shackleton , on Flickr A friend brought this wee dar...

Remember there are three types of people Critics, Talkers and Doers....

He's totally right, that old meatbox is looking a whole lot better for all your TLC. It would have rusted away by now and that's not museum's are about.

More power to your Scotchbrite pads Blue!

A trip to my local for some photo therapy. A few visitors, which made for a more interesting day.

You don't see that kind of formation all that often...not even at Oshkosh!
Nice one.

Now that the lockdown restrictions are easing in this part of the world, the pilots are piloting and I'm photographing them doing it. Also getting used to Capture One as my raw editor I took a walk up Bishop Hill last week to photograph the gliders operating from the nearby Portmoak field, as they w...

I'm not familiar with this W7 and W10 terminology.

Is this Windows 7 and Windows 10?

I too would like to see a Flea ground running, it seems like every museum has one and all too often they are ignored but he public but they did hold an important piece in the home built history of British aircraft, if not an ignominious piece.

But for now... keep on working miracles on 788 Blue!

Thanks for the correction on the type, much to my embarrassment, I find myself caring less about the details since I got my anorak forcibly removed!
