Wish I could go this year, but I'll be at boot camp. :( I guess that's one less head to worry about.

Sure had a great time last year, though. Thanks for having us again, Fred. :)

Sounds like way too much trouble. See you guys at the beach!! (And maybe around FRG on the other day). Now....if you can tell me how I can get up in that old Control Tower for arrivals and departures, on the day I'm not at the beach, I am so there!!!

Well, for starters, it helps to be selected for History Under the Stars. Oh, and don't piss off Fred

Hey Fred,

I just sent you an email stating I would be interested of attending this event.
In the email I linked my website of my work so far. Since I'm a Big ww2 plane buff, this
would be a great night for me for photography and history.

This stinks :( Im not a professional photographer but I would enjoy to see the planes, I wonder if I can just park the car in the AAM parking lot and see it from there?

Well, if you go down during the day, all you need to do is pay for museum admission and you will get to see most of these aircraft up close as they come and go during the air show. You can park in the lot at night, but you probably won't see too much in the dark

These were shot on the museum ramp from areas you can get to with museum admission.

I always go the museum (I could have probably purchased a year pass) but it will be cool to see them at night lit up.

I WISH they were lit up....Do you know how tired I am going to be from running with my flashes around the aircraft

Thats stupid, the pictures show them lit up, and I think someone here had night shots of the T-birds lit-up by back ground lights.

Long exposures can capture a great deal of ambient light. Trust me, except for the normal ramp lights, there is no special lighting for this photo shoot. The Thunderbirds (which were parked at the terminal, and not part of this shoot!) do have extra ramp lighting, for security purposes, not for our benefit.

For example, this shot from last year, was the result of a 101 second exposure. That's right, one minute and twenty one seconds...



And if you'll allow a word of advice from this old phart...saying things like "That's stupid..." in reply to someone's post explaining his photos is no way to make friends and get access...

I understand as I was the one who took those pictures

Fred,

It was a great pleasure to be there last year. And yes, Thanks a million for running around with the flash. I only wish I can try to enlist in the pool this year if it wasn't for the work. I am sure photogs that make it this year will have a blast.

Cheers,
Raj

PS:I remember you running few times on this one alone.

I think you took it wrong I meant thats stupid they they dont light it up for photographers.

P.S. If you did take it in that way I did not mean it in a malicious way.

2nd note: After reading my comment over again I did sound like a jerk, it was a poor choice of words and I did not mean it towards you pics.
