Another Terrific Airshow
Oakland County International Airport hosted a terrific airshow today. I got a chance to improve over last week's shots and I think I succeeded. Here are some samples:

Jother Woods
Dawn and I maneuvered some of Detroit's art scene today, from MOCAD to Detroit Artist's Market to N'namdi Gallery. N'namdi was where we met Mr. Jother Woods.
Jother (Joe to some) is the artist behind this very detailed display of the locales of his life growing up the son of sharecroppers in Louisiana. There is the three room home he grew up in, a barn, a terrific southern plantation house from the area, and the project moves through time along to modern day with our superhighways and even a helicopter pad. And all made entirely from recycled materials and a few recycled toys.
Mr. Woods was gracious enough to let me take a picture. Be sure to stop by N'namdi Gallery (on Forest just east of Woodward, behind the chicken joint). Odds are good that you will have a chance to speak with the artist. The piece really comes alive when he points out details, tells you about growing up in the south, and plays a bit of a guessing game about what materials he used to turn memory into art.

Zack Arias' Intro to DOF
Nice little video talking about the THREE elements that determine depth of field.
Zack has a bunch of videos on Youtube, just run a search for "Zack Arias" and you should get 'em all. Collect the whole set, as they say.

one more
Have to post one more because it is my personal favorite (ironically more for the drama of the sky than the actual airplane here).

2011 Selfridge Airshow
2011 Selfridge Airshow
Big airshow at the Selfridge Air Force Base. Wish me luck -- I'm told this is a very different and challenging type of photography.
If you go, here are a couple of sites with tips and tricks:
Also, because today's airshow, like many of them, is on a military base, there are a number of rules and restrictions for security reasons. See this FAQ page for good general info: http://www.selfridgeairshow.org/faqs.aspx#11 .
