BBMF Lancaster over RAF Fairford.

thatone1967 · 12 Mar 2018

Took this at RIAT last year, and recently re-edited,
Was going into the recycle bin as one wing was cut off at the end, but decided to crop the other one out also.
I am quite pleased with it.

Nice shot Jim!

It adds more impact with the wing ends cropped.

Really Jim?

All I did was to apply DRL to the image…

There seems to be a halo around the plane. Is that real or a byproduct of PP?

In the original or in the tweaked version?

DRL = Dynamic Range Levels = black and white points setting.

Do you mean the jet wash?

That's what I thought it was at first. But I've never seen it so uniform across the whole plane

Think the original shot is better, more "moody" look to it.

Can be… but it does not quite reflect the weather
conditions nor the time of day as rendered.

Fair one. I didn't make the Friday at FFD last year but the conditions looked pretty similar to the Saturday

the photo's do not reflect the weather. I ended up in bed Sat and Sun with Heatstroke

Agree, shows on the rear 'uprights' (that's a technical term

)
