2021 Pacific Airshow

Joseph JenkinsLeave a comment

This year I was able to go to the Pacific Airshow in Huntington Beach. These are some of the shots from Saturday at the 2021 Pacific Airshow before the oil slick caused it be canceled. I wish the airshow hadn’t gotten canceled, but I understand the issue and why it was. I was shooting from the beach with my A9ii and the 200-600 lens. I think next year I will try shooting from the pier along with the beach on the multiple days. It should make for an interesting shoot. The sun was rough for some of the shots because it was directly behind the planes.

B-29 Flying Fortress

Doc one of only two flying B-29s was visiting Yanks Air Museum over the weekend. I tried to go out on Sunday and shoot it as it was giving rides to people that had paid, but unfortunately there was a cloud cover which kept them delaying it and delaying it. Finally when it went up I wasn’t there, I was lucky enough though to grab a couple of stills of it flying over my house on its way back to the airport. Shot with the A9ii and the 200-600 lens. Post processed in Lightroom with a slight amount of cropping to center the plane. Shot at 1/200.

Schnauzer at play

A9ii with the 100-600 shooting at 1/1000 to capture the dog in action. It was late in the day so the sun had set which allowed her face to show. I ran the pictures through Topaz Denoise to clean them up and make them look better. Pretty happy with how they came out, could have done more to make them a little less noisy.

Veeam Warning 1327 while doing upgrade to version 11.x

Joseph JenkinsLeave a comment

I was upgrading the veeam environment to version 11 and I was getting an error when trying to do the upgrade. At some point the main hard drive for the install had been changed and there were registry entries for Veeam that were causing issues with the upgrade. The error I was getting was:

Warning 1327.Invalid Drive H:

Really not an informative error. I searched through Google and couldn’t find anything aside from some references to checking the configuration. After doing that I wasn’t able to find anything I ended up having to go through the registry and all of the Veeam entries and finding one reference for Veeam pointing to the H:. Really painful and you would think they could make this error a little easier to find.

Saturday Planes of Fame did another one of their flyovers. This time it was their war tested P-40 Warhawk that had seen in action in WW2. They took the plane up and did a couple of passes over the crowd.

Andree Clark Bird Refuge

A few weeks ago we were up in Santa Barabara for a vacation so I went over to the Bird Refuge in the morning to do some shooting. It was an overcast day so I was up at some pretty high ISOs. However I was able to catch some of the tern’s doing their morning feedings. It was cool to watch them go across the water and eat. I edited the shots in Lightroom and then took them into Topaz to correct for the noise.
