Rotty goes digital... Old Rhinebeck "teaser"

Postby beaky » Wed Aug 03, 2005 6:48 pm

Having a hell of a time figuring out which of this batch to post, and how to format them... but here's three of my special friend- the New Standard D25, built in 1929 and still happily giving rides every weekend.
These are out of sequence; I was messing with settings for this one, hence the bluish cast. Might be tweakable, but... whatever; ain't she fine?

This shot gives you an idea of how it works. Front cockpit has two bucket seats and a bench; four adults can fit in there. This type was designed for just this purpose- that, and hauling mail, etc. My guess is that the pilot is laying down the "no ice cream" rule, here...;D

Another sedate landing...or is she taking off? Hmmm...

Sadly, I didn't get to fly in it that day; got my name on the list late, and a storm moved in right after the airshow. I waited around, but it was raining steadily by 5:00 so they put her away. Of course, at that precise moment, the clouds parted and the rain stopped!!  :P
but it's OK- I've taken that ride before, and will do it again. ;D

LOL At last. ;D

Pretty good shots too. I reckon you could do something about that bllue with my favourite graphics edtor - IrfanView. ;) I'm off to bed soon or I would have a go.

I reckon from the prop blur that last one's taking off.

I'm actually doing pretty well with the GIMP, but that one wasn't worth messing with right now. Only  included it because it's the only decent in-flight shot of that plane in the bunch.

Thanks for looking, and be sure to check here in the morning... the photo elf will be busy tonight... ;D
