Pix From a Swamper - Remembering Craig Chenell

[Brint]

My Pano shots are stitched together as well. For anyone that has a Canon Digital camera (likely other brands too), the software comes bundled with your camera and worked pretty well. Most point and shoots have a "stitch assist" type feature where a portion of you preceding shot is left on the LCD display to help line up your next shot. It's helpful and works well. I love the pano shots as it really helps to capture the feel of a landscape.

On the one Caravan shot where it looks like a "fisheye" effect along the wing, I was just zoomed out all the way and standing really close to plane. The individual shots look normal but when stitching together, the wing curved a bit, made a cool effect.

Here's a few from the Copper Point Strip on the Bonnet Plume River. One of my favorite spots!

[Brint]

One from Whitehorse, and a few from the Maritimes

Going back a few years, a few from Armstrong Ontario

Hey Brint, like the AO pics. Spent some time there myself.

Here are few more of mine. See if anyone knows where the third one is from. Note the ballast on the back.

I'm thinking: Aircab?

[crazymofo]

That's the one 1000hp. Driving the Hyster was just as imprtant a skill as the flying.

This is the best one I got. Owl at 1500 Agl during my first night solo

[flightdude1]

That must have scared the shit out of ya...

[Cadismack]

Oh yeah, definitely had to change my shorts after that one

[just curious]

Or the Owl.

Holy shnikessss!! You're pretty damn lucky it didn't go through the windshield! Where'd it happen?

In the snow like that, is it sitting on the skids or the cargo pod?

[sigmet77]

Nice paint job on that bird. You view from the office kicks the crap out of mine.

It's sitting on the cargo pod, yes. The 500 isn't the best machine to land in deep snow with, all four gear legs are on oleos and they flex too much for really "pounding down" into the snow with. In fact, too much "pounding" will only serve to spread the gear out, and that causes them to become too soft.

That snow was up to my waist in depth, so the machine is just sitting on the top of it in those shots. The real depth would be 20ft+ there. I've landed there in summer, and small trees are under all that.

Not a machine, but it was out in the "field," and it does fly....

I decided a while back to pursue other endeavours than flying, but still have some nice shots from points north:

You know it's a slow time of year when half my recent shots are airplanes......
