The Goodyear Blimp

Just Above Sunset

August 7, 2005 - The Goodyear Blimp

Much happened in the world last week, and much was said about it, but Thursday, August 4^th was devoted to a ride on the Goodyear blimp, "The Spirit of America" - a drive down to Carson, a mid-afternoon flight out over the Long Beach and Los Angeles harbors, a drive back and then editing the more than two hundred photos. Fifty of those shots can be found in a photo album here. Bob Patterson's On the Scene column this week explains the flight.

If you use any of these photos for commercial purposes I assume you'll discuss that with me.

There is a copyright notice at the bottom of this page, of course.

These were shot with a Nikon D70 – lens AF-5 Nikor 18-70mm 1:35-4.5G ED or AF Nikor 70-300mm telephoto.

They were modified for web posting using Adobe Photoshop 7.0
