I add 100mm of reach to my kit, and it still isn't enough. How much is the new Nikon 600 4.0 VR, again...?

Last Wednesday (Jan 16), one of the two remaining Martin Mars flying tankers made an appearance at Canada Place for the 2008 Truck Loggers Association Convention.

Trying out a different style of processing here... I got the idea for this from a custom Lightroom preset I came across that attempts to emulate the style of the movie "300" (props to Mike Lao for sharing the preset). After some tweaking of my own, I'm quite pleased with the results... time to go through some old images and give them a new treatment!
