So here's the ultimate in Cardinal viewing: pictures of Cardinals in a
picturesque setting, taken by a professional. The picture to the right
shows Boyne Mountain airport and resort, where this picture taking
project was undertaken. Each image can be clicked to bring up a larger version of the same picture in a new frame. If you're curious why I load into a new window check out the story on this page.
These pictures were taken over northern Michigan (but not the UP) in August of 1999. The photography was done by Mark Remaley of Precision Aerial Photo.
One of the more important elements of doing pictures like this
is the formation flying. One day I'll build a page about formation
flying, but for now let's just keep it simple: don't do it lightly!
Formation flying takes practice and skill, and needs to be approached
very carefully. That said, I'll confess at the risk of blowing my own horn that I did the flying for these pictures. It was one of the more challenging bits of formation work that I've done, since we did a bunch of planes in a short time and only had a single 4 mile stretch within which to form up and get a series of photographs.
But it was a lot of fun, and bunch of people got pictures of their aircraft that would have been difficult otherwise.
So without further ado, here are a bunch of great photos for you to browse through. Enjoy!
