When I decided to really get into aviation photography I had two goals.

1. Take decent photos
2. Make my kit as light as possible.

As far as goal 2 goes I don’t think I can do much better than this. What you see here (with the exception of a battery charger and spare he bag) is my entire setup for spotting, photography, and editing. That’s it. This is what I travel with. All told (not counting the phone) I’ve got about $1200 put into this setup.

Sony RX10 IV, Apple USB C SD Card reader, iPhone 16 Pro, Uniden BC125at with aftermarket antenna, and a Besnefoto bag (with a cool patch) to store it all in.

I don’t know if anyone is interested but I’m bored and I thought I’d take the time to share.

Best beach in California!
@howcoryseesit @TomcatJunkie Sit out at the beach in Coronado on a week day and there are a lot of opportunities.

Very tempted to ditch optics and put a carry handle on my AR. Solely vibe based.

I miss spotting in California.

I’d never want to live there again but damn those sunsets are gorgeous.

#OTD in 1969, NASA test pilot Bill Dana flew the HL-10 lifting body to Mach 1.58 at over 60,000 feet. The craft was air launched from a B-52 mothership and would then fly back to land.

📷: Dana next to the HL-10 as a B-52 flies overhead.

Disclaimer. Since I started using Snapseed to edit instead of the iOS photo app you may see duplicates here. When I scroll my photo dump it’s hard to tell if there’s an edit already done of a photo. It’s not intentional and I hope you don’t mind.
