vehicles-air-land-sea LANDING

You know, I think this photo has a terrific feeling to it. I'm not sure if you had a choice about shooting through the fence, but what you've done here allows you to do so without ditracting much from the shot. My favorite aspect is the subject, the Firefly. I truely appreciate you sharing this picture. Nice job! Also, I wanted to share something of mine which is somewhat related to your picture here. I would put a link here for you, but I don't know how... There is a picture in my portfolio that is of a Firefly which I've been helping to restore. I've grown to love this airplane...its pretty amazing. Thanks again for sharing this picture!

here it is...

Its very rewarding to share a picture I agree.In answer to your question, yes I had to shoot through the fence. Thank you very much for the restoration picture I am very glad you took the time to share it with me. I will show it to pilot friends that would appreciate it very much. Apart from photography I build and fly model airplanes hence my question when I saw your picture, whether you flew that day. Best regards.

I would like to share this shot with all of you aircraft enthusiasts.

Your comments are wellcomed.

Extraordinary picture. The airplane is great but is the least interesting thing about it. What I love is the metaphor of the two fences and the two people outside looking in -- the person visible in the frame, and yourself. It captures the awe and also the frustration and difficulty of access to wondrous sights like these, especially aviation related sights in the post 9/11/01 world. I very rarely see an airplane picture that I think Cartier-Bresson might have liked, but this is one.

 

Grazie! Multi saluti, Dimitri.

It is hard to describe my feelings after reading your comment, suffice to say that apart from everythig else, you have hit the nail on the head with such a masterful stroke that you have driven it all the way home. Thank you.

Dimitris, thank you for stopping by to inquire about the firefly project. If you'd like you may take a look at a website which I'm trying to put together for my dad's business. It has a section with photos of the firefly, as well as other projects we've worked on. Nothing on the website is newer than at least a couple months ago, but I'm trying to catch up. You'll see that the firefly is on the landing gear and the painting is largely completed (those are the most noticeable changes). For the time they are having difficulty moving the wings around to work on them because they are so large...its been somewhat of a setback. In any case, thank you again for your message and I hope you enjoy the website. www.davescustomsheetmetal.com

 

PS Since the comments left by August I have began to love this photo for those aspects other than the Firefly as well. This truly is a beautiful photo.

Daniel thanks for stopping by and giving me an update on the Firefly project. Thank you also for the link, I will have a look. Since Augustu's comment, I also began to like the picture more. It goes to show that seeing is a learning process too. Best regards, Dimitris.
