"Excellent" set of aviation style captures Steve.

 

[Norkie]

Great set, maybe in monochrome?

 

[stevet20]

Monochrome and with a suitable filter to create an aged look possibly? I’ll post the results soon

 

[Bristolian]

Stunning shots Steve

 

[stevet20]

Nice shots!

Was that all set up for some sort of re-enactment or a film?

Actors from the upcoming Master of the Air mini series being produced by Playtone, Parliament of Owls and Amblin Television, which also made its precursors Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

Great set, maybe in monochrome?

Converted to monochrome, added some film grain and vignette,

Lovely shots Steve

After seeing the colour ones I think I prefer them, I can see the appeal in the mono ones though. Well taken

 

[Bristolian]

Man, you have excelled yourself, Steve. Simply beautiful images and the mono conversions have added mood

Love the photos! For the modern era, I think they are great...

If you permit a critique, in the era of B&W of the time, they were never so clear as we see photos today... If you google WW2 Photos, I think you will see what I mean.

Don't get me wrong, your photos are great, nice and crisp, but to me they miss the "feel" of a WW2 photo... Here is an example I found in a google search: https://img1.etsystatic.com/054/0/8498932/il_fullxfull.752211715_pz2k.jpg

Your comments are welcome, I originally had a lot more film grain added which dropped the sharpness. Didn’t want to over do it so I dialled it back every day is a school day or so they say

Excellent set Steve, the colour versions edge it for me.
