October 5, 2020 - Dave Baranek

Welcome to episode 75 everyone and I have another different guest for you.  Some of you have been waiting excitedly for this one too - so welcome on board Flight Instructor Dave Baranek (aka callsign "Bio").  So Dave was an officer in the USA Navy and not only flew (he's a radar intercept officer)  in the f-14 Tomcat's but managed a squadron too!  Not only that but Dave has ties to one of the most famous aeroplane films ever - Top Gun!  Yes, he helped with instructing on the film and is credited too.  Dave is a very friendly guy who is happy to share details of his career, which included shooting pictures whilst he was flying!  It's another interesting guest who started life with film cameras like the Konica fs1 (+ft1) and talks to us how he coped with his work and still taking some lovely images.  He tells us a little his talk in the navy and what he's done since too.  So listen out for:  how Dave's vision affected his path instructing at the top gun school Shooting through plexiglass Tripods + ejection seats Konica cameras Technicians vs Artists Navy photo labs Reconnaissance missions Film choices Dangers of photography &amp; flying Importance of hard work  I have to say Dave's life is very different to most, but he is still a humble man so hope you like this one.  My favourite quote from this show was "connected a tripod to the ejector seat" - I nearly choked when he said this!  RANDOM QUESTIONS Of course, Dave kindly answers our fun questions so find out why he would move Hong Kong and some very special Navy training tests.   EXTRA CONTENT I would urge anyone listening to check my website initially for the extra content, as Dave has provided you all with some examples of his work.  LINKS Website - www.topgunbio.com  MENTIONED Dave talks about a couple of other famous aeroplane photographers. These are: George Hall - https://www.check-6.com/gallery/electronic/SR-71-Blackbird-by-George-Hall.php Niko Tokunaga - https://nps.nikonimaging.com/members/katsuhiko_tokunaga/   ---   Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/photography-insights/message

Interview with Top Gun Dave Baranek

Life is full of transitions. Mindset is key to success. Our guest - Dave Baranek- helps us understand what it takes to develop the mindset that not only helped him become a radar intercept officer (RIO), operating the weapons system in the Navy's F-14 Tomcat fighter but then be selected to become an aerial combat instructor at the elite Navy Fighter Weapons School, better known as Topgun. While serving as an instructor in 1985, he had the unusual experience of flying aerial sequences used in the film "Top Gun." How many of us have envied the success of someone we met in person or we saw on a movie screen? Honestly, you’ve had those thoughts of, “I see that success, I want that success, I’ve got to get it done.” Some of you put in the work, but after exhausting yourself, you aren’t any closer to where you want to go. A year or two goes by and you aren’t any farther along in your journey. You aren't alone. It’s not uncommon. Few seem to be on-point and on-mission. But not because of a lack of desire – but know-how – and mindset. Dave shares how mindset is key to your success and the small steps you can take to incorporate those changes into your life.
