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
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
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
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
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…

Paya Lebar, Changi, and Sydney remastered
I can’t help myself. I recently realised that while I had remastered my non-aviation shots from our 2019 trip to Singapore, I still had those from the RSAF Museum at Paya Lebar, and from our final day when we spent half a day at Changi Airport before flying out in the evening. When I’d done…

Royal International Air Tattoo, 1999
The penultimate set of photos from my 1999 trip to the UK is here. While based in Brighton for work, I would spend weekends with my sister and brother-in-law in west London. When I rang my sister on Thursday evening to confirm I would be up on Friday night, she asked would I like to…

Winter Wellington
It felt like such a long time since I last posted that I was sure I had failed to blog about plenty of visits to Wellington Airport, but on investigation there is only my most recent visit this last week. I was taking some encouraged time off work and decided to head out to see what…

Concorde at Heathrow
As part of scanning my films from 1999 there are a handful of photos that fall between Imperial War Museum Duxford, 1999 and my upcoming reprocessing of RIAT ’99 that were taken when my brother-in-law offered to take me out to Heathrow to watch Concorde take off. Here’s G-BOAB (as best I can tell) departing RWY27R with…

Ch-ch-ch-changes…
Just a quick post about a couple of changes around here.

Imperial War Museum Duxford, 1999
Having recently, finally, mastered multi-frame scanning for 35mm negatives and slides, I set about scanning some of my films from the 1986-2005 period that I was an SLR user. I’ve concentrated on special trips for starters, including two I did to the UK in 1999 and 2001. On the 1999 trip I made visits to…

Catchup again
Although I have posted twice for photo album remasters in the last 9 months, I’ve not posted once about new photos, so it’s time for a quick catchup. I’ve seen a lot more of the Airbus A320neo/A321neo fleet, as Air New Zealand made heavy use of the types as domestic flying rebounded post lockdown. Here,…
