We decided to get up at 4am so we could be on the flight line at 5am for sunrise. It always sounds like such a smart idea the night before. It was pretty quite on the ramp so we moseyed down to the far east end where a bunch of MiGs were parked. There is a firm there that reconditions them for resale. So I kissed the tarmac, placed the camera on the ground, put the bracketing to 5 images and produced some HDRs (yeap, did handheld HDRs). <\/p>\n
My static plane photography needs lots of work. I’m building up my inventory of plane images so this little exercise helps both. Making something that’s designed to go Mach look good when parked on the ground I find quite a challenge. Being such I do a lot of it with most of it ending up in the Trash Can. I keep working on it though with these I kept.<\/p>\n
