Damn.. all your photos are epic. Even for a common and "basic" plane like a PA28 they somehow come out looking better than real life.. like when you download a paint scheme for x-plane and you think "no way, there is nothing in real life that looks this sharp"
Agree. The combination of the traditional scheme and that green was great!
Thank you! Tres is really good at flying formation and knows what I want in my photos. He said, "Let me know when I can go crazy." I told him to have fun and he did!
Well, for starters all of your shots are through (horrible) Plexiglas or whatever your aircraft sports. Jack might get better angles, but that'll ruin any of our shots.
Rapist wit is when you're poking fun...Isn't it rapier's wit?
I had a friend offer to take me up for photos in his RV-7 the other day. I think he was offended when I told him I wouldn't shoot through the canopy. He insisted it was brand new! Nope.
Thanks! I have upgraded cameras, practiced a lot, but honestly a lot of credit goes to my photo pilot and the subject pilot. My photo pilot that I used most often has learned my style and puts me in the right position without my input.
Thank you!
Thanks. I still get excited when the prop lights up just right!
Thank you. I rarely ask people to repaint their planes though!
Pretty sure this wasn't an original color, but I loved it. More of an olive green. Made the plane unique.
One of my photo pilots recently bought a new Lance, but it's getting a few things fixed before he brings it home. It will do 140 kts with the doors off.
Ahh... I'm too exhausted to catch the joke! Four weeks ago, I had a hip replacement, which kept me grounded for a few days. Then there was no sun for what seemed like weeks. Then for the icing on the cake... Piper Owners asked me to shoot a PA-28R-200 and then agreed to let me shoot a 180. I found this beautiful plane and I already knew the owner's CFI could really fly formation well, the sun came out, and I shot it. Only after getting all of these shots, editing them, and getting ready to send the email to the magazine did I realize I had made a major mistake... I'd missed the R in PA-28R. They wanted a retractable. Did I say I'm exhausted?
LOL! Brown?Well that sucks Jack. I have about 40 hours in an Arrow. Guess what color it is?
Thanks!
Sorry Jeff.
But that isn't Piper old man brown. That's Cessna magnificent ochre.
And still a very snowy Flag it was (March 10). Forecast says more on the way later this week.
100% Digital for me. No filters. You can either say I expect to get it right the first time, or you can say I'm lazy, but I hate editing photos! I use Lightroom to crop, sharpen, adjust the white balance, etc. That white circle on the prop is what I live for. If you don't at least have the tips of your prop painted, it will almost disappear in flight, especially black props. Now if anyone wanted my opinion, all props should be white... you know, for my sake!
Sorry, I'm usually pretty laid back, but why are you posting your photos on a thread I started about my photo shoot? It's annoying.

I didn't say they should be prohibited, I just don't understand it. I share photos I've taken and this guy keeps posting his photos. He could start a thread about his air-to-air photos just as easily as I did.
Ok, I get it! To me, it felt like when someone posts a plane for sale and someone tags on that they too have a similar plane for sale. He's just using my thread to post photos he's snapped out of the window of the plane. I'm wrong... I've been wrong before!I guess all the other pictures of people's airplanes weren't annoying since they weren't air to air? They didn't annoy me. More on topic than paint scheme brochures. Its not like the guy is a competitor showing off comparable shots. Just a guy trying to join the conversation and share some aviation photos that may not warrant their own thread, geesh.
