bushcaddy105 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Why fly a bushplane? Campsite and "airstrip" on way home from Avalon 2009. It's at the junction of the Murrumbidgee with the Murray, near Boundary Bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudestcon Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Balloon reflection This shot was taken August 2008 from a hot air balloon in the Avon Valley Northam Western Australia. The reflection is from a branch of the Avon River near Spencer's Brook for anyone who knows the area. The basket is the dark rectangle shape centre of the balloon and accommodates 20 people plus the pilot, all standing up. The pilot positions everyone where he wants them grading from light weight people in the centre to heavy weights on the outside. How do I know this?....... He placed me on the outside:laugh: Pud [ATTACH]7910.vB[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Only a few days left for this month, so get your entries in. Ross, How the heck do you do that so well? Your shot looks great, yet if I took that shot it would just look bland and like a brown pussy in front of some blue sky with a bit of white stuff in it. Steve, Interesting what great focal length that alarm camera has. Me think it mazing. Regards Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be good little units to set up in hangars to see who's stuffing around with aircraft in the owners absence.....or beside a certain motel's coke machine to see who's kicking the carp out of it.

No carp anywhere near our joint. I'll PM ya, Steve, as they look good and useful. Sorry to sidetrack this thread Slarti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Sorright. I have disqualified myself from winning because I organised the sponsorship. Just seemed a waste to post a "Last Entries" reminder without a pic to go with it. Geoff - a good camera makes all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Geoff - a good camera makes all the difference. Yep, no skill at all! just pushing the button and watching it do the rest.... A bit like those EC145 Helicopters! apparently all you do to land is push the landing button, and watch it land itself!! Great peices of engineering if you ask me!
