Critique Welcomed In Plane Sight

[Chris Dodkin]

Finally got away from work, so SWMBO and I went to the Planes of Fame Air Museum Air Show 2013, in Chino CA today.

Lots of WW2 aircraft on display and in the air - sunshine, food stalls, beer - heaven!

Some details from the day:

Hole in the Head

Underwing

Make it Rain - on a WW2 Bomb Case

Escape Hatch

Bomb Bay

Photo Fanny

6302


All shots X-Pro1 with 14mm and 35mm Lenses

Chris that underwing shot is one to hang on the wall. Really fantastic.

 

[Pete Askew]

For a moment there I thought you'd been redacted!

Smashing series Chris. Hard to find a favourite so I won't. I like the PP as well - is it different on 'Make it rain'?

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Nice series!
Like the way you've aligned yourself so that your camera and face cannot be seen. Lol.

 

[Beth Anthony]

i'd be tempted to print out the escape hatch photo and hang on some doors at home. i also like the underwing shot, make it rain and bomb bay. nice detail shots!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks everyone!

I started out with the 14mm lens trying to take photos of the planes a whole - but it was impracticable due to the large crowds

So I switched up to the 35mm, and went in close for the detail stuff

More structure on the PP for 'Make It Rain' Pete - that's probably what you're seeing

Did someone say "beer?"

Love that first shot especially, Chris. All very cool, though.

 

[Andrew Cotterill]

Great shots - I'm fond of the distorting effects of chromium reflections, but I love that underwing shot, there's something about the flatness of the black/white against the varying aluminium textures that appeals to me.
