Hi Lee, thank you for the comments the glider is a 3 meter ASW which makes it about 1/5 scale(i think).Hi Roger,
Nice start to your 52!
The water tower works really well for the theme and the silhouette of it contrasts nicely with the misty BG.
Great shot for Pleasure. It's almost monochromatic. It really ticks my boxes. No idea what model of glider it is but it looks pretty large (third scale?).
Hi Clive, my great pleasure since a boy has been flying RC Model Aircraft, this picture was taken from St Agnes Head being flown by a friend of mine. I took the photo just after launch, hoping to get some better shots, but there was a problem with the model and it had to be landed straight away. Will put another photo at the end of this post to show better what we fly and where.Hi Roger, a very nice picture, how did you get it?
Thank you BobExcellent image!!
Thanks Gareth.That's a beautiful image Roger!
Wonderful misty background and a crisp subject with great lines - such great contrasts!
Bravo!
Thanks MinxLovely image nice and sharp on the glider
Thanks Rick.Great image, you'd never know it was a model.
Thanks StanA very realistic looking model and well done to get it spot-on focus.
ThanksLovely image for Pleasure Roger a simple and clean image.
Thanks Pete, we have had a couple go in the drink over the years but its very rare.Hi Roger
Wk1 looks like a cold war watch tower on the berlin wall. Nice reflections on the still water. Background mist highlight the starkness of the tower.
Wk2, lovely shot of a crashing glider, did they get wet! (I did see it's a model)
I take it you where up high and used a telephoto lens to get that perspective. I love the monochrome feel to the colour.
Pete
Here is me launching a model from the spot the photo was taken a few years ago.
