This Norseman served the province in the 1940-50's and was replaced by the DHC-2 Beaver.
The Norseman is powered with an SV 17cc (underpowered), soon to be a Zenoah G20. Someday I hope to put it on floats!

While those Corsair pics are fine examples of your prowess with a camera, I think your pics of that Sopwith Camel you posted on that ( other ) thread are more in keeping with the essence and spirit of this thread.
I think these photos ( taken by Neil Hutch ) would and can fool just about all but the most discriminate / educated aviation aficionado.

In other words, one's first thought when viewing these should be,...."is it real ....or a model ?"
And then ...."wow - look at that very nice Sopwith"

Neil, it's a very well executed model and , as always, excellent camera work. I like the close crop and lack of backround that usually gives away the illusion.

So, more photos like these please...
Ken.

other than that, it looks fantastic

100% inline with the thread concept.
Sure it's a simple model but we're judging the shot/composition/background/forground/camera hight/ etc.
Does it feel real? IMO, yes... it's great.
Well done RCphotog.

I'm not usually very good with adding a sepia colouring to a black & white picture, but I'm quite pleased with this effort.

And with those rotary engines without a throttle its running at full speed, no wheel blocks, nothing to restrain it.. Oh desaster is about to happen.

Beautiful picture, though!

I have to admit that Ian's DH2 is one of my favorite models. He's a true artist...as one might expect of a guy whose day job is designing and sculpting puppets! And that's a really good photograph of it. By the way, I've found that using the channel mixer in Photoshop is the best way to reproduce the look of the orthochromatic ("blue sensitive") films using in WWI, which tended to lighten blues and darken reds and yellows. So the blue in a roundel would typically be lighter than the red. Ditto on the rudder colors.

Thanks for sharing my photo.  Unfortunately the sun was in front of me, so a lot of the photos I took that day weren't keepers.

Status: online 		Ken, I'm afraid that one screams photoshop to me. The cut 'n paste aircraft in the background (apparently doing low-altitude aerobatics guaranteed to piss of the CO) to me distract from the overall realism. Also this shot of the foreground B-17 loses the realist of your last photo because it's taking from above.

Thanks. This image was done just for the owner's collection but I thought (maybe) it might inspire others.

.....and no, I have not seen the ( wartime ) image of which you speak.
Ken.

Hi Don,
Yeah I know
Like I said, it's just for fun
In my mind ( hopped-up on Mt. Dew at three a.m. ) the photographer was standing on top of the fuel truck or a VERY tall ladder
I took over a hundred shots of the two models that day and I do have more from the lower angle to play with. After midnight ( when the creative juices are flowing ) anything can happen in my "photo-shop"
Thanks, as always, for the input.
Ken.
It's fun fun fun

There are quite a few "factory photos" and "promo photos" of real aircraft taking from this sort of lofty position. But strangely they tend to make the aircraft look somehow like a model!

Status: online 		Here's the color version of the SE5a photo. The second photo is the original as I got it from my friend. The resolution and focus are both a little suspect, but with a bit of tweaking it looks pretty good at a small size. Maybe rcphotog can have some fun with it!

The third photo shows what Neil would have gotten (with better resolution)!
