I was doing something completely different when I happened to take this screenshot.



I've had to crop it down for the forum but I think the original shot (1280 x 1024 pixels) is one of the best I've ever taken. It looks so realistic I've now got it as my Desktop.

sweet! awesome shot!

[RollerBall]

Thanks.

Funny, when you want to set up screen shots you often can never get quite what you're after.

In this case I was trying approaches and landings with various aircraft over a period of time at dusk, and it just got darker and darker. I was watching this one on the replay, saw this view and just thought - WOW.

One of my favourite shots ever and I like my original because it's got more space round it, that I cropped off for the forum. It's almost black and white, great for the period of the plane, but with just enough colour.

Really now, how can you go wrong with the classic old look of BOAC ?  8)

[RollerBall]

You're right, Rifle. I love these old uns

I'm redoing the FDE of a Super Connie and was using this and other old props to see what their attitude is on approach (you know, nose up/down and stuff). At the moment the Connie is nose up which I don't think is right for a plane of the era.

When I'm done I'll post some shots etc

BTW for anyone interested, here's the info on the BOAC aircraft in the shot.

That is just a beautiful shot Roger. You have every right to be proud of that.

indeed a DC-4....thought it was viscount due to the engines.
