Hey all, Haven't posted much for a while. Life has me running around. But I got a chance to go to a car/aircraft show today. Some of the set backs with these shows are for one, the cars are usually crammed to close together to get a good profile shot. Even with my 18mm, sometimes it just can't happen. The other thing of course is the masses of people. I got to this one about 5 mins after it opened. Still had a lot of people already there. So I usually go to these shows with my camera knowing that I am usually only gonna share the pics with family/friends.

Anyway, today I got a really cool shot of a C-47. I loved the lighting and POV. But the crowds and delineators/caution tape took away from it. So I tried my hand at the good old clone tool. After about an hour.. here is where it ended. I plan to post the final in the gallery. Let me know if you see any glaring mistakes please.

This isn't to toot my own horn on my skill.. more to show what some paitence can do to save a decent shot.

Thanks, Bruce
