Posted on October 11, 2019 by Rob

Here is a bit of video I shot of a Dreamlifter heading out of Paine Field.  I was there with a visitor who wanted to see the large beast and, rather than shoot more stills, I figured I would go … Continue reading →

A Little Hovercraft Video

Posted on October 10, 2019 by Rob

Clouds Over the Valley

Posted on April 25, 2018 by Rob

My trip to Rainbow Canyon gave me plenty of time to enjoy the scenery as the jets only showed up infrequently.  It was a cool and clear day on the whole but there were some times when clouds moved in.  … Continue reading →
