B-17G Flying Fortress

I was pretty excited to go inside this airplane. When I was younger I built a scale model of a B-17F Flying Fortress. To me it is one of the coolest looking planes of WWII. One of the waist/side guns and the belly gun (as seen from the inside).

The radio room. I like how these turned out but I need to find a way to get rid of the weird border at the edges of the light (the light beam hitting the floor).

The bomb bay and the catwalk to get to the rest of the airplane.

Nose gun and belly gun from the outside.

A wide angle shot of the entire B-17 as well as a close up shot. I'm not sure which I like better they both look nice.

B-24J Liberator

Went to the event Wings of Freedom at the Yakima airport. It was really cramped in most of the airplane with only a few areas where you could stretch out a little. Looking towards the cockpit.

The narrow catwalk going through the bomb bay to get to the tail section. You had to lower yourself down to get into the bomb bay and you can see my legs as I was sitting while taking the photo.

Looking at the belly gun.

One of the waist/side guns. There is a bit of ghosting in these photos since I was hand holding the camera, I'll have to spend more time to fix the photos up better but it still looks cool to me.

Looking towards the tail gun.

Ocean in The Sky

Some cool looking clouds this evening. I would have shot a longer time lapse but it started to rain and I heard some thunder, so I decided to come inside for the night.

Boiling Sky

Another time lapse of clouds.

Clouds in Motion

I love how this time lapse turned out! I took 1 photo every 5 seconds and played at 24 frames per second.

Early Morning Stroll

I took a walk along both sides of the Columbia River in Pasco and Kennewick. Some squirrels:

Geese:

Groundhog?

Ants:

Sparrow:

Flower Time Lapse

My first time lapse of flowers opening, could have been better but not a bad first try. It is fun to watch the shadows move as time goes on but next time I might try indoors for more consistent lighting and no wind to move the flowers around.
