Really like that photo. I'd have liked to seen it from a little bit lower angle. We should be looking up at the airplane. This view would be from a 9 or 10' person.
Very nice photo though.

Maybe. But I've seen a lot of photo of actual aircraft that were obviously taken from ladders.

Here my photographer's take on sepia toning. Sepia toning was originally a technique for chemically neutralizing the remaining silver halide crystals in the emulsion, which if left untreated might oxidize unevenly resulting in blotches on the print. So after the print was developed it would be soaked in a bath of sepia toner. This process produced an overall warm tone (but not really orangish like a lot of "fake" sepia toned photos). Another common treatment (favored by, among others, Ansel Adams) was selenium toning. This produced a slightly bluish tint.

So a lot of REALLY OLD prints, which hadn't been properly washed and toned at the time ended up "yellowing" (i.e. oxidizing) with age, often with dark spotches. In addition, the unstable paper base also yellowed. This is why a lot of old prints from the 30's and before have a yellowish ("sepia") tone to them. It's not so common to see yellowish prints from the WWII period. And certainly the aesthetics of sepia toning wouldn't have appealed to WWII era documentary photographers.

So while attempt to create a "faded print" look to a photo of a WWI model might include a bit of sepia tone, just enough to warm the b/w effect, it usually comes off as looking blatantly artificial. WWI era photographers would have hated the way it looks.

Excellent subject, excellent photo!
Maybe a tighter crop the eliminates the houses, as they're a little distracting...to me.

Not sure if its the plane or the image

That's actually really nice. If it wasn't for the engine sticking out of the bottom, I'd say it was as good as anything in this thread.

If only the antenna was hidden.

It's the prop.

Wow, not sure what it is, but that Corasirs' got it. VERY scale. That could pass for real. The houses may distract a bit, but I think they actually help in the scale perspective illusion, as they are rather small, lending to the plane an illusion of size.

Here are some more.

I have just over the last year taken up this game of flying, last time was back in the mid 70's as a pimple face teen.
Thought I should take some of what I see about the place.

abufletcher

You've got a pretty neat place! And some nice models fly there!

David Bathe

That last shot of the DH' bipe' is very pleasant. Not from a "oh it's a real plane" angle... more of a great quality image.

SDCrashmaster

You show 'em Greg...and me too. Got that thing sittin' on those gear yet?

I would never disgrace this thread with any pics of "UN" completed work! However, it would make me very happy to post a pic or two to this thread when the time is right .... sure hope this is the year I finally get down to CJ.... check six, jett
