Big Bird is not just the large yellow bird on Sesame Street.
Here, in Logan Lake, it is a two-day gathering of model airplane
enthusiasts, from as far away as Saskatchewan and Oregon.
Taking photos of models is difficult for two reasons... First of
all, they move so fast, and are so close to you, that the relative
motion is much greater than real planes at a real
airshow. Secondly, they are, of course, much smaller, and it's
tough to get a background which allows them to have any semblance of
looking "real".
I gave it a stab, yesterday.

Comments, criticism welcomed, as always.
Cheers!
PS: I'm heading back there, in an hour ... for today there is
rumoured to be a jet powered model, with a 6 foot (~2 meter)
wingspan, which is to fly, this morning. This, I've got to see!
