    On board the B-24 the wife thought she saw an FW190 and took command of the right waist gun. A born gunner I think!



    Good tour of the B17, B24 and P51 war birds, and a solemn reminder of the air war in WWII and the lost crews.
    Sorry, I killed the links and had to repost them.

    John, would you please share your camera info? Your photos are exceptional

    On my monitor, you photos are clear and sharp as a crystal. Would you mind telling me what gear you use? You also have a good eye for composition.
    Regards,

    Thanks Louis. This is not my best stuff, but no secret as to the gear and how the pics look. Camera is a Sony DSC-F707, 5.0 Mega Pixels with a 10X zoom lens. I use 128 MB memory sticks and set the camera for 2560 x 1920 high resolution image size. This gives you about 65 pictures per stick.

    I never met a picture that didn't like Photoshop. What you see has been run through Photoshop, reduced to 700 x 535, cropped for balance, color trued or contrasted and pixels sharpened if needed...........it ain't the photographer that makes them look so good, but the photoshop program. Everybody can be Ansel Adams with Photoshop

    A Photoshop guy eh? I thought so, it's all fakery! You were probably never even near those airplanes! Did you put in a fake wife too? Probably never even married. Bah Humbug!

    Seriously, I hope you don't feel I highjacked your thread with evil intent; those airplanes still stir the blood and I like the other guys to see some of these legends from our great history. I suspect that a lot of members here probably don't live near a place where they can get to see these warbirds.

    I'll try to add some more.

    Hee, Hee. You must have been really diasapointed when you found out that those great looking girls in Playboy magazine were a a quasi-facsimile product of air brushing and other techniques.

    Louis one day I sitting out on Lake Erie doing some walleye fishing when I heard a heavy drone in the air. Several minutes later I had a beautiful B-17 fly several 1oo feet over my head. About 20 minutes later she returned and headed back to Cleveland where she was giving rides. About 3 years later I was standing on the 5th fairway of my local course and lo and behold another of those birds flew over my head. They were giving rides out of the Ottawa Co. Regional Airport. Which is the same strip where the last of the Ford Tri-motors reside.
