glide path


what can i say. i'm from the prairies - i like clouds and small planes.
this black and white reminds me of high school. my friend buzz and i would head out taking pictures, then hit the darkroom and start a 3 day process to get to this point. both the shooting, and the lab work were fun everytime.
oh, and this is a DeHavilland DHC-3 Turbine Single Otter, flying over lost lagoon for a coal harbour touchdown.

Hi DW; I really like the black and white I have always liked black and white..... Is this guy dead sticking it in, or are you using a really fast shutter speed? You stopped his prop... I put a few miles on a twin otter in Northern Sask they are great planes. ljp.

you know, it might have been a bit of both. they come in pretty steep, but i was at about 1/320 or so. i'm on a b&w run right know / stay tuned.
