    Changi 2023

    As mentioned in the last post, I visited Singapore again this year. As with my last trip, a fair bit of my last day was spent at the airport and of course I had my camera handy. However, I did not spend as long this time, and the weather didn’t quite cooperate, as you will…

  • A Trip North

    A Trip North

    I’ve just got back from a short road trip which gave me the opportunity to drop into two airfields. First was Taupo Airport, where I arrived just in time to see Taupo Tandem Skydiving‘s Cessna 208 Caravan, ZK-TTS, departing at speed — before I could get my camera ready. However, I stuck around and was…

  • 15 Years Today

    15 Years Today

    A quick post just to mark the 15th birthday of this blog. (I know; nothing for six months and then two in less than a week.) Much has changed in 15 years, but the goal remains the same — provide a friendly face to my aviation photography. A couple of recent changes include moving to…

  • Six-Monthly Update

    Six-Monthly Update

    Yeesh! It has been just over six months since I posted here. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been publishing photos — you can always follow me over on Flickr — but I just haven’t got around to writing here. It’s time to correct that! Not that I’ve seen a lot of interesting stuff since July,…

  • I’m Still Here!

    I’m Still Here!

    I just checked and the last time I posted on the blog was December 2021! I also counted 12 posts for 2021 and so far none for 2022 and it’s half gone already. That’s not because I haven’t been taking photos, but because I’ve not taken very many and there’s not a whole lot of…

  • Much remastering

    Much remastering

    As with previous posts, I have remastered yet more photos — nearly 100 on the aviation theme. I think it was a sequence of non-aviation photos that got me looking at my 2018 shots. These are ripe for reprocessing as I only discovered DxO PhotoLab in October 2019. There are several blocks I have done,…

  • Classic Fighters 2011 — remastered

    Classic Fighters 2011 — remastered

    I thought I’d done the remastering of all of my air show albums on Flickr but was searching for photos of a specific aircraft type recently and stumbled across the fact I had so far not done this one.

  • Auckland 2009

    Auckland 2009

    First I remastered my Whenuapai Open Day photo album, then just recently added some photos taken at MoTaT on the same trip. I also took a bunch of other photos on that trip, at both Auckland International Airport (Mangere), and at Ardmore airfield. These had been published at the time but have now been remastered.…

  • MoTaT 2009

    MoTaT 2009

    Please note that title does not include the word “remastered” despite the year. I will admit I was actually looking for photos I could remaster when I stumbled across a bunch I took at the Museum of Transport and Technology (MoTaT) in Auckland, while I was up there for the Whenuapai Open Day. I was…
