if you've ever felt the urge to give your inner musketeer a go, then I'd highly recommend you check out Kanata Fencing located at 329 March Road.

Earlier this month I had the awesome opportunity to photograph people having fun with swords at Kanata Fencing.    While my brother and I had tried fencing in the early-1990s at a summer sports camp, this was my first time photographing fencing action.   Safe to say, with my trusty camera and natural reflexes I had a joy freezing the motion.

One of my favorite shots of the day.   Do you like it too?

I never loved my 500mm telephoto lens so much...

Playing hard for the camera, and I loved every moment of it!

They felt so close, and low to the ground, as they buzzed around me and a few others watching the show from a farmer's field.   Check out that underbelly!

My first time seeing the RAF Red Arrows in action, and loved ever second of their colourful air show!   My favorite moment was when they formed a hard, and drove an arrow right through it...

All this left and right, kept me and my camera jumping up and down with joy.

The Snowbirds and Red Arrows flypast my home in downtown Ottawa, after first doing so over the new British High Commission Building on Sussex Drive to mark its opening.  Living in a national capital city sure has its advantages! :)

Two F-35A Lightning II jets show wingtip vortices, as they anchor the end of an air parade and begin to ascend into the sky with a roaring goodbye. The sound of their engines thrusting filled my chest, flushed my skin, warmed my ears, and gave me an instant smile — beyond awesome! This rooftop photo was taken by my home in Centretown Ottawa.

Ummmm, yeah, NO CHANCE. Man, I like to believe my reflexes are fast, but creating this image was a Hail Mary picture with a telephoto lens. BOOM and GONE faster than I could think.

A CC-150 Polaris equipped for mid-air refueling approaches over downtown Ottawa, along with two F-188 Hornets. One small part of an amazing RCAF 100th Anniversary flypast over downtown Ottawa for Canada Day. This rooftop photo was taken by my home in Centretown Ottawa with a Canon R3 and RF 100-500mm lens.

A CC-150 Polaris equipped for mid-air refueling flies past my home with two CF-188 Hornets along side. Picture taken from my front yard in Centretown Ottawa.

Here they come, and they need no introduction...

I've had the great pleasure of growing up in Ottawa with the snowbirds being a frequent flyer on Canada Day.

To the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, Thank you!!! As long as you keep flying, I'll keep feeling joy in photographing you and your contrails.

Two CH-146 Griffons fly past my home during an air parade on Canada Day.

A CH-147F Chinook flies high above my home during an air parade for Canada Day. If you look closely, you can see a Canadian forces member waving to people. I very much like the sound this machine makes.

A CH-149 Cormorant search and rescue helicopter clad in its yellow happy paint chops though my neighbourhood. If you look closely, you can see two Canadian forces members sitting on the rear cargo door ramp — which I'd wager was the best view in town. :)
