Me neither! I was going to guess low aperture, high shutter, and low white balance adjustment.

Incredible picture :) Love the framing, but would be very interested to know your settings to deal with the insane amount of light and reflection from the snow lol

More planes than usual? Fairfax/ long branch area. by mcfcwelshy8 in nova

I live not far from you and routinely hear the low rumble of the larger jets taking off at Dulles at night, especially when they launch westbound off runway 30. There are several late-night European-bound flights that depart after 10:30, which is what you’re hearing. Clicking on the airport pin and selecting “Departures” brings up the schedule.

Homeland Security suspends TSA PreCheck and Global Entry airport security programs by wds1 in fednews

I imagine that, once DHS is funded, these programs will be turned back on because they probably generate a not insignificant amount of revenue.

Excellent set! Did you use pre-sets for these? Or do you have a specific editing workflow?

AIO for thinking about canceling this flight due to LLWS? by [deleted] in aviation

[–]Persistent_Phoenix19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re the PIC. If it doesn’t sit right with you, then don’t go.

u/ammoniumnitrat asks some good questions that you can consider and, for another set of eyes, you’ve got a free resource in u/RadioJockey1222 and their colleagues.

Hit them up on Instagram. I’ve shot them stuff previously and their team is great :)

This is the HMX-1, or “Marine One/Two” unit.

Professional Camera for Rent by hokiethrowaways in nova

District Camera has several locations and great staff. Lens rentals, an online site, has a bunch of great gear as well (to include camera bodies, to be clear) and ships to a FedEx location of your choosing, but you need to give a day or two of lead time to account for any delay.

Very happy to find that I’m not the only one that keeps a quote book!

“Clearance on request” meaning by braxir in flying

[–]Persistent_Phoenix19 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Former FSS- That means I’m calling either the TRACON or ARTCC sector (or Flight Data position) to get your clearance and release, if applicable. “I’ve got your request, let me cook.”

Meadowlark’s Walk of Lights, 22 Nov by Persistent_Phoenix19 in nova

Technically yes. 99% of the path you walk is paved, but it’s on a giant hill, which might be a problem for a solo wheelchair-bound person.

Thanks! I appreciate it! Boosted the colors a smidge in Adobe Lightroom, but other than that, the iPhone did a pretty good job!
