39 degrees Fahrenheit at 6:40 am. Plus there was ICE on my windshield.

Agreed. ISO 400 should be absolutely fine. In fact, you could try 800 and going down a full stop. It’s trial and error until you find the sweet spot for your gear. Another option would be to capture RAW images for higher dynamic range of your sensor/processor and then adjust in post. I have a 2013 Canon G15 that I’m teaching the kids with and do this with excellent results.
Now there’s a blurry image . @wheelsup_cavu, don’t you live in the SW?
Lol, actually that was the best of five pictures I took this morning. Live in SoCal and these temps are brutal for me. At the moment it is still only 41 degrees outside.
The view looking out over Norco is awesome though.

Out in the plains states this week. Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.
Left OKC this morning and caught this from my window. By chance, I was flying aboard N167AN which is painted with a beautiful MoH livery.
Are you able to store it? Seems like something you could tidy up as best as you can for best presentation, sell in batches at retail prices over time and use some in your client projects as you go?
RAW is very much recommended. The blue sky is particularly susceptible to noise - even at low ISO, I can even see it in my RAW files at ISO 100 but a little NR with a colour filter mask gets rid of it. The best way to avoid noise is to expose your photos correctly in camera but of course there are times when that won’t work.

That’s the plan for about a third or half the stuff. I need to move a large portion wholesale to cover the transport cost.
Absolutely beautiful keets.
Programs like Topaz Labs DeNoise AI or DXO can help get rid of it while keeping most of the details but even a simple mask over the blue sky in Lightroom or PS and then applying NR only for the sky will get rid of it
I’ll see if I can find equivalent features in GIMP. Lightroom looks interesting but I hate Adobe’s overpriced business model
Stopped by Pearson again today - weather wasn’t cooperating with some snow flurries coming in, overcast and also not much air traffic.
However, something interesting I hadn’t seen before was this AN-124 that appears to be effectively “impounded” due to airspace bans. It flew down via Anchorage on February 26th, 2022 and hasn’t left since. I guess it has been moved around the airport a bit however - as I am sure I would have noticed it otherwise.
Nice find! Maybe we could ask it’s country of manufacture to take custody of it until the embargoes and hostilities lift.
I so wish I could give that more than 1 like
it’s country of manufacture to take custody of it
No. Keep it till hostilities end THEN give it to ukraine. Or it will end up like the 225.
Eh, they might be able to make use of it- I mean keep it airworthy as a responsible custodian- in the meantime. I see a lot of airlift going into Poland with supplies and aid, I’m sure some borrowed supplemental lift might be appreciated.
Frontside view of the Antonov - had to grab this from my camera, last shot was a roadside iPhone photo.
And here is a 787 for good measure:
The Tibanna gas must flow!
