Massive DC-10 Fighting the Slinkard Fire Above My House

Massive DC-10 Fighting the Slinkard Fire Above My House
This was two evenings ago. Since then the active fire line had moved north and west.

    I've seen smaller planes doing retardant drops before. But seeing a DC-10, up close and personal like that would be amazing.

    Tom Nathe I'd like to see that end of her journey too. She flies over our house at a rather uncomfortable altitude several times a day and that's impressive as it is.

    And I thought the last one was a bit large (I didn't get a good look).

    I'm about 95% sure it wasn't a DC-10 though.

    A little poking around, 10 Tanker is flying one of their DC-10's (tail number 911) on the Deitweiller fire, and GST is flying a fucking 747-400 (tail number 944) out of here for the Ponderosa fire. I'll try to get a photo if the air is good & I hear her light up the engines before takeoff.

    FWIW, the DC-10 carries around 10K gallons of retardant. The 747, almost double that, or the equivalent of a 15'x30'x6' deep swimming pool.

    (sorry, I watch them all take off, so I geek about what they're doing a little)

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video)

Orionid Meteor Shower Last Saturday Morning (HD Timelapse Video) The Orionid Meteor Shower this year was a bit of a dud. I was shooting up at 11,000 feet in the White Mountains and ran my camera for about 4 hours, from 10:40pm Friday until 2:50am, well after the moon came up. To see how a much more active meteor shower looks, here's one of my Perseid Meteor Shower videos from the same location, displayed on the Discover Magazine blog, best viewed full screen: Perseids, Writ Large http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/08/25/perseids-writ-large/ I have a number of posts on my blog www.MyPhotoGuides.com * related to night shooting and timelapse videos. Here's one of the more recent ones building on those pasts posts: Create a Timelapse Video of a Meteor Shower http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-timelapse-video-of-meteor-shower.html I'm curious to see how an HD 720P video gets displayed on G+.
