A few weekends ago I ventured off to stretch my still ailing knee and play around with my relatively new digital SLR (Nikon D-60). Udvar-Hazy is right down the road for me and though I have passed by it every day for years I have never stopped in.
It is well worth a visit though a bit overwhelming for those of us who are not serious aviators or aviator want-to-be’s. It was a good chance to explore the manual settings on my camera and take advantage of existing light, wide apertures, and slow shutter speeds. See more pictures from the visit here. All pictures were taken with existing light…no flash was employed.
It was amazing how many planes were on the deck and in the air at this place.
