We had just arrived at Edwards AFB and stopped at the museum for a heartbeat waiting for our bus taking us out to the flight line. There was a unique looking A-10 parked there (rotting there better describes the situation) so I walked over and read the sign, “…only twin-seat A-10.” Supposedly it’s a A-10A conversion, the only one ever made. That being the case and being parked at Edwards where I won’t be getting back to anytime soon, a click had to be made. But yuck, it couldn’t have been a worse scenario!<\/p>\n

The bus was leaving so if I was going to make a click, it would have to be later. Well, we cameback affording me a couple of minutes to make the photo. Some clouds came in but the light had gotten harder. No matter, I made the click knowing how I would finish it to pull something out of nothing. Back in the DD, I used one click HDR to start and then Nik’s Monday Morning to finish off the photo.\n<\/p>\n
Na, it’s not how I would have liked to photograph the A-10 in the perfect world, but that’s not what was afforded me. I had the option of no click or this click. No click wasn’t an option so I then made the best I could of the situation. I’ll look at the image over and over again fine tuning the processing, but this is close to the final. This is a good reason why I do play with so many different techniques, lenses and combination. There are simply times where you’ve gotta make lemonade from lemons.<\/p>\n
