Soft Sepia Aircraft | a 7 Image Story Some airplanes look really nice in B&W Sepia, some don’t. Weather and background also make a big difference whether a B&W will work for a given airplane at a particular location. My preferences tend to be sharp contrasts and a larger depth of field. Generally, I capture the images in color and convert to B&W in post; even if I know the finished image will be B&W.
Just like color aircraft images; bald skies are the pits. The bald sky tends to end up almost black. A few clouds make a big difference, particularly on flying aircraft.
Each image will be posted individually this week under category Soft Sepia Aircraft.

Trains Planes & Automobiles | Waco Landing This beautiful Waco made several takeoffs and landings on Antique Field the day I was able to attend the AAA Fly-in. So, what is the Antique Airplane Association? The AAA was first formed in August of 1953 to “Keep the Antiques Flying”, which remains today as their main interest and primary function. The AAA has over twenty active chapters and a close working relationship with many of the type clubs which sometimes use Antique Airfield for fly-ins. The Antique Airplane Association is located at Antique Airfield near Blakesburg, Iowa. Membership is open to anyone interested in antique airplanes; it’s not necessary to be a pilot or an aircraft owner. The Annual Invitational AAA/APM Fly-In and Convention is held every Labor Day Weekend. To attend the fly-in, you must be an AAA member or join when you register at the fly-in. Then, it’s time to go back to the golden age of aviation! To see all images, see Planes Trains & Automobiles | a 7 Image Story.

Waco Takeoff This beautiful Waco made several takeoffs and landings on Antique Field the day I was able to attend the AAA Fly-in in Blakesburg IA. It’s hard to realize the beauty of this bird without a little video.
