(click pic for hi-res) A great Dawn Patrol sunrise at OSH15 on Thursday July 23
This summer has been a real blur for me as I've been working to build a new online business... today I launched www.loudflowers.com, high-resolution flower images printed exclusively on vibrant aluminum sheet. The ads I placed here today are designed to drive a little traffic that direction as I start off from ground zero. If you like my work there, I encourage you to spread the word, and I hope you stay tuned because I have an aviation derivative of Loud Flowers in the works. In early 2016 I plan to launch BleedingEgdeArt.com with an upscale collection of aerospace images that should be pretty cool : )
But this post is to share 11 pix I captured on Thursday July 23rd at OSH15 (the best OSH ever!) of a Corsair and the Mosquito while on a Dawn Patrol photo mission in the warbirds area. And all of these images open up to the big CoolPix size, so I think you'll enjoy the journey!

I'll add that this last pic also shows the amazing resolution that my new Sony a7R camera has. That pic is cropped down from the one above it! The full frame sensor and 36.4 megapixels sure change the game... and I found it to work extremely well with capturing the flower images for loudflowers.com.
I'll have some more OSH15 to share before long : )
