cracked corn works wonders, you would have them eating out of your hand in awhile.

Great idea except for the "Don't feed the wildlife" signs bummer

Thanks Pat. It was going to be a Dogfight but they could not get the Fokker D1 to start so they just flew around each other. I really wanted to see that Triplane fly. Maybe next month if I can make it there. I was going to take a shot for you as there was a bike club there.They left before I did but there were about 30 or 40 bikes.

Trying to start the Fokker D1. It is a rotary engine which means the engine spins with the prop. Four guys were worn out trying to start this thing.

Good choice on B/W

 

[Alan]

Thanks Marilynne. I have a bunch that I think will look better that way. With all the shots I took I might be at this all day. Glad it's not film. (I would need a loan to process it all!)

I know how you feel. It took me a week to process my two week vacation.

Some of the planes from yesterday. It was very overcast most of the day making for creative photo opportunities.

Curtiss JN4D Jenny. This is one of 7 originals that are still flying.

Sopwith Pup built by museum as none are know to exist in flying status.

Rumpler CV. This one was built for and used in the movie Lawrence of Arabia.

Bird Biplane. One of these was flown by Anne Lindbergh.

You scratched the film when you were processing or printing it. You need to be careful.

I think it was dust on my enlarger lens. That 1000 watt bulb seems to attract it!

​Thanks for the kind words. These were great shots to play around with.

Thanks Scott. One of the few subjects that this little trick works well on. I posted these on the Museum's site and the pilot wearing the British Uniform in the pictures wrote to tell me he felt they were Amazing Photographs. It was nice to hear that from him.
