Experimental Air Plane

Gallery: POP PhotosPosted October 24, 201486 views2 comments

October 16, 2014 Apple Valley Airport, California My brother took eleven years building this plane in Sandy, Utah. Unfortunately, when he completed it he had a heart problem that precluded him from flying it. He has kept it and others fly it to Oshkosh and Young Eagle Rallys. His friend flew it to Apple Valley for a family get together and when they left I took many photos of it taking off and on this fly-by. Mike was formerly in the Air Force and was stationed on a SAC base in Bangor, Maine. The plane has a proliferation of Air Force and SAC markings.

Nikon D4 Nikkor 600mm lens 1/2500 f/8 ISO 400 White Balance Auto Processed in Lightroom, Photoshopcc14, NIK and TK.

Nice photo, I think you could reduce the amount of land in the FG and have a stronger image. Thanks for sharing.

I like the placement in the composition Patrick and it's nice and sharp. I also like the slight vignette.
