I finally finished my Oshkosh scrapbook for this year. Lots of
pictures, lots of info, and lots of links to even more info. No ads,
no cookies, no clutter. Corrections are appreciated. Hope you enjoy.

Very nice, David. Thanks. By the way, the diffuse light of a cloudy day
makes for great pictures, much more so than bright sunlight, which is too
contrasty and produces hard shadows. You had perfect light for pics!

I've gotta agree. And I have my own glare-filled pictures of
airplanes on sunny days to prove it, too!

A lighter overcast would have been *worse* -- the clouds would have
been bright enough to be too bright when exposure was right for the
planes (they would be "burned out"). The nice heavy overcast he had
gave a very soft light, and kept the sky dark enough to show details
in the clouds, so they aren't a distraction or blank space.
