Crane... I used an old HP R817 5MP camera.  Sadly it’s on its last legs… great little camera and no longer available.   I taped 2 layers of paper towel over the flash so it wasn't so harsh.  Yes I judged a couple of categories only… in too many of the others and that would just be wrong… and we moved to models just enough to see them.  Nothing was picked up.  My pics were taken as the sat.

 

Dupes we had 121 registered entrants and 429 models.  Most by a single entrant was 18.  Dunno how many walk-ins we had but the place was jumpin’.

Just curious, what kind of camera did you use ?

Were you a judge ? Were you able to move the models around to get your pics ?

I drove 3 hours from PA to NJ to see the show (my 7th in a row) and some relatives.

I took over 600 pics   lol.

I usually post them in the newsgroups though.

Thnx for sharing and if you want to see any particular pics, lemme know, I probably have 'em.

Also, once I get them organized and posted, I will give you the newsgroup name so you can see them all.

Frank that photo doesn't come close to doing it justice.  I think it took a prize too.

WOW!!!

I love the little WWI bird in photo one, the B-32 Dominator, and the FAA PBY!

Man, there was some nice stuff at your show. Bow [bow]
