What do you do to top off an incredible flight? Well, when you have great light you shoot some more. When Mike came taxing up, I got the signal from Kevin to stage the Stearman for a sunset shoot. One of the great things about Stearman Field is all the grass and there was a great strip in front of the hangar or other then aligning the Stearman in the light, it was a snap. Now of course there was a little more consideration then that. You guessed, you know me to well. Yeap, the background was everything so parking the Stearman took a little hand signals, a little gas and then a little more gas just to get the Stearman parked with the best possible background. Kevin hopped out, grabbed his camera and we started to shoot. As the light changed as the sun set, I kept moving about the Stearman looking at just the glow on the side of the Stearman. I was using the RRS Ground Pod which has become my favorite for shooting static aircraft. The question I have for you is, how did I take and finish these images? And do I have a favorite? Not yet actually but the top image is in the contention. mtc
