^^^^^ Nice work Harvey. I really like the amber reflection bifurcating the fuselage.

Thank you Jeff, we get lots of visitors to this site, are you sure you should use "bifurcating" in a sentence?

Hey, I try to learn one new "big word" a year and use it in a sentence. Usually, I don't get that accomplished until October

Thanks so much for sharing John. The Hawker Siddeley looks terrific. I am planning a "day time" visit as soon as the monsoon gets going.

[John B.]

Let me know when you drop in, Jeff!

The Shenyang J-6 is looking better now:

GANNET REVISITED


To quote an old whaling captain; "He tasks me; he heaps me". Working on this image has been challenging. I've been trying to find the proper balance between the last warm rays of light and the cool hues of evening.
I also wanted to maintain the illusion of the Gannet disappearing into the darkness of night. While I've reached a point where I'm sufficiently satisfied to post, I'm sure more work will be forthcoming

This is a fantastic image Jeff.  I've never been fully satisfied with any of the Gannet photos I've taken there.  Really like the softness of the light and the texture of the aging paint and coatings.  Some really beautiful subtle hues.  Great dreamlike mood.

Thanks Scott. As I said, this image will continue to get my attention - I'm just not "there" yet.

[Tower Guy]

WOW. This photo just draws you in. I must have looked over it for several minutes, then moved on and came back to it again. Maybe your not quite satisfied with it Jeff, but I can't think of much you can do to improve it. It's aviation artwork! Outstanding treatment and beautiful photograph.

[John B.]

I love every version of the Gannet image that I have seen so far, Jeff.  Your image does a lot for that rough looking airframe!

Another one of our Harriers and our Kestrel...

Thanks Harvey and John. I don't know how long it will take me to get "there" with the Gannet. Heck, I may need to revisit the entire composition again during another visit. I really like that airplane and the possibilities that I see in photographing it
