DOF Sunset

Woah - nice photo!

The tough thing with static aircraft photos is getting a new and interesting composition. This one is great!

I've been using the Acros 100/HC-110 combination a lot also, with good results.

Having a handful of aircraft photos in my own gallery, I can really appreciate this one. Nicely done! Can you tell us more about the subject and circumstances of the photograph? It certainly is eye-catching!

Yes, you never tire of these.

Jim, Ken, and Tony - Thank you for the kind comments. Like many old airports in Arizona, Coolidge Municipal began as an Army Air Corp training base during the 1940's. It is located in a remote part of the desert south and east of metro Phoenix. A company has been working to restore this aging DC-7 to its former luster as a part of fledgling Delta Airlines. I took the photograph as the sun was setting with the hopes of getting a nice blending of shadows in the background and highlights on the engine/wing. I am shooting a series of images of this DC-7. None of which show the entire airframe in a single photograph. More to come...

A very fine aircraft engine profile shot. Gosh, I can recall flying on a few of these old 7's, as well as 3's in the earlier days. Some neat old aircraft history being shared here.....

Great work. Thanks for posting.

Making the mundane sing! Light and DOF.

a showstopper there!

@Trail Images

Thank you for the encouragement. While I never flew on a 7, it has been fun to work on this series with such a terrific platform.

Much appreciated Kevin.
