02Pete 2 Posted March 25, 2014 Looks as thought these engines are on a Lockheed Constellation, or perhaps an old DC-6 or DC-7. Double-row radial engines such as those were reputedly a bear to maintain, and finicky to coax into synchronization once airborne, but they represented the adaptation for civilian use of technologies previously developed for military purposes, and they delivered performance that was quite high for their time. If one is lucky enough to see and hear an aircraft of this type start its engines, taxi out and take off, or even just fly overhead, one never forgets that distinctive sound. Definitely worth remembering, and your well-composed and rather elegant photo does a good job of aiding the recall of such memories. Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted April 10, 2014 You're obviously a photographer who knows what he's doing. The tones, muted colors, composition and overall effect of this picture are outstanding. I'll have to keep an eye on your work. Link to comment
ken_thalheimer 3,739 Posted May 3, 2014 I really like to point of view. The muted tones, as everyone has said, are very good. The processing is very good. The exhaust stream coming from #4 is a very good touch.I agree with Peter. An old Connie or DC-6/7. A memorable sound, but very cantankerous Link to comment
