The guy who shows up with a multi-role magazine, takes 500 pictures, and three or four good ones make into the magazine. The 32 gig SD card is much more convenient to carry. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-70248657082077212052017-04-03T08:40:45.031-04:002017-04-03T08:40:45.031-04:00???

When I take it out of the camera and just crop it around the plane, it's 1135 x 755 pixels. When I have 20 pictures open, it's the kind of mistake I make. <br /><br />I'll see if I can replace it and delete the original. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-3726912500448684932017-04-03T07:03:22.561-04:002017-04-03T07:03:22.561-04:00"grabbing every shot I can and then throwing ..."grabbing every shot I can and then throwing most of them out."

He was visiting her one day, and I got to meet him. Just about knocked me over when I found my buddy had invited him over!<br /><br />I've only seen the Thunderbirds twice, but I've seen the Blue Angles maybe 10 times. The shows they put on are very different. The Blues always reminded me of ballet, while the T-Birds were more like break dancing....<br /><br />Last airshow I went to was at Planes of Fame in Chino. They had a USAF Heritage Flight with an F-15, P-51, and P-38.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.com
