From my backyard today - odd cloud formation, then it took on the shape of an eagle (c'mon....it's an eagle!)
B-17. Tried to give it a vintage look with some grain, and other settings.
Like it. Good work.
Nice!

Really nice work on the plane - that looks great!

Nice picture, that's the B-17 I took a ride on a few years back- my dad was a radio operator/machine gunner on one of these during WWII. Would you mind if I printed a copy for my wall as this one is a lot better than any of the pictures I took that day.

The image is not HDR..
The file shows up in Lightroom as 4991 x 3332. I used the share function in Flickr to generate html code for the image. I copied the code as the image filename in my ER.org post. The image in Flickr shows up as 2048x1367.
Yongnuo makes very inexpensive speedlights for about $70. They are built well, reliable, and cheap enough you can buy two. If you’re just starting today, I’d pick up a YN-560 IV but check out my flash recommendations page here.
The flashes that I like from Yongnuo are the all-manual flashes. They are very simple to use. If you take a picture and the flash is too bright, you simply turn the flash down. Too dim? Turn it up. It’s that simple. But they also make high speed sync and ttl flashes for about $150, which are comparable to the $650 Canon/Nikon flashes.
Travel for Photography
Amount I saved: About $2,000 per trip
This is–by far–my favorite hack on this page. Last year, on one of our completely free photography workshops, we traveled to Iceland to photography the amazing landscapes. The cost of the trip from the United States? $699 which included flights, lodging, and some meals!!! It sounded too good to be true at first, but I’ve gone on several of these trips now and I can assure you that it is not a scam.
