Oshkosh pictures finally up

http://xcski.com/gallery/oshkosh2003

Mostly the delay in getting them up was discovering that for the entire
time, I had two spots of dirt on the CCD element in the camera, and so I
had to cut and paste over them on every single picture.

These pictures were taken at 6 megapixel resolution, so you might want to
stick to "normal" instead of "full" resolution, unless you have a really
big screen.

Anyone asking to see pix of the Hughes Air Racer MUST see Paul's picture of
it on the first page, upper right hand corner.

What a stunning photo of the sky/prop/reflection in the wing, Paul! It
really captures that beautiful (if short-lived) plane...

It's definitely one of the best pictures I took at Oshkosh.

The superior pilot uses his superior judgement to avoid situations in which he
has to demonstrate his superior skill.

How do you get dirt on the CCD itself?

It's a 35mm SLR. I suppose it got dirty when somebody was changing
lenses. There is a setting on the menu to open up the shutter and mirrors
so you can get at it for cleaning.

Once we've got the bugs ironed out, we'll be running on flat bugs

Fabulous pictures Paul. Thanks for posting
