Hello there.
'Zoom In ¦ Zoom Out' [or ZIZO for short] is a photo-sharing meme hosted at Helena's Creative Maven and I tend to join in whenever I'm staring down a lens [or more like huddling over an LCD screen trying to reduce the glare from the sun to work out what on earth is and isn't in shot] ... and suddenly I spot there's a story to be told simply by zooming out.
Which is what happened at the RAF Waddington Air Show I visited with James earlier this month.
Zooming In ...
Zooming Out ...
And the reason I pounced upon this unexpected bear of the air?
Well, it was because he was a perfectly handsome embodiment of one of the items I needed to capture to cross off Rinda's Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt list.
Meet ... No.12: A mascot
Here he is from another angle:

Another great shot and story, Julie. It reminded me of a scavenger hunt prompt from a previous year, something out of place. A great mascot find :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great BIG bear ... did he have a body I wonder!
ReplyDeletegreat mascot and great ZIZO...that really is a BIG Bear. I love air shows....always lots of great photo-ops(I find that the pilots love to pose!!)
ReplyDeletethat is one amazing mascot - wouldn't want to meet it on a dark night (unless attached to the helicopter rescuing me)
ReplyDeleteGreat find Julie and I had to laugh at the being dragged around air show bit. I can so relate! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you really have the knack of spotting unusual things! Beautifully shot, by the way. You are going to have such an interesting collection by the end of the summer!
