The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

I Can't Understand It

I keep falling behind. I can't understand it. I can NOT be busy. I'm retired. From 2 days ago at the overlook in Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, Alabama.Nikon D7200 — Nikon 18-300mm F6.3 ED VR85mmF8@8 secondsISO 400GND filterDSB_6806.JPG©Don Brown…
Everybody is a Photographer

Everybody is a photographer now. You'd think that would make the idea of a Photography Park easier to sell wouldn't you? I love all the photographic possibilities of this light tunnel. I might have to include one in my Photography Park. What? Do you…
Leaves Me With Nothing

It was another cloudless sunrise on Monte Sano this morning. Couple that with the fact that my usual walk up and down the Bankhead Trail is all in shadow at this time of year. And then I have the down-sizing problem. With a pickup truck, you can carry…
A Higher Tolerance for People

I swear it's the same doe that comes up to the overlook most mornings. She just has a higher tolerance for people (I guess) so she gets first dibs on whatever food there is. But now she has had babies. She and her two fawns were up at the overlook this…
God's Softbox

Published: December 3, 2024 10:28
I didn't spend the *entire* morning photographing the car. I spent a little time photographing God's softbox. You just never know what kind of gels He/She will put over the light. From the overlook at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, Alabama.Nikon…
I Bought a New Car

Published: December 1, 2024 15:39
I've never shot a car commercial before. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to do it alone and without any lighting or reflectors. Oh well, the joys of an amateur. I bought a new car yesterday. I figured I'd take some pictures of it before I wore the…
I Only Need the Sky

Every once in a while, I let the "secret" of my vision leak out. I have monocular vision. In short, I don't have any depth perception. Both eyes work — they just don't work together. And as the doctors always tell folks like me, "If we didn't tell…
We'd Become Jaded

It was a great one on Monte Sano this morning. You could already see the glow when I pulled up, an hour before sunrise, like usual. There was a little pause in the color intensity towards the middle of the hour (as usual) but all the colors came on…
Oscar's Bad Side

I don't normally like Oscar's (the rock) bad side but, the light was right and the trees are at their peak so here we are. Headed downhill on the Bankhead Parkway/Trail in Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, Alabama. Nikon D7200 — Nikon 18-300mm F6.3 ED…
Set An Alarm
http://gettheflick.blogspot.com/2024/11/set-alarm.html
Published: November 25, 2024 19:53
You just never know. It was pretty dull all morning long. I didn't take much more than my normal setting up shot. I made a few silly pictures for some kids that came out while it was still dark — carrying lights through the frame to show them how they…
