Experimental Air Plane

October 16, 2014 Apple Valley Airport, California My brother took eleven years building this plane in Sandy, Utah. Unfortunately, when he completed it he had a heart problem that precluded him from flying it. He has kept it and others fly it to Oshkosh and Young Eagle Rallys. His friend flew it to Apple Valley for a family get together and when they left I took many photos of it taking off and on this fly-by. Mike was formerly in the Air Force and was stationed on a SAC base in Bangor, Maine. The plane has a proliferation of Air Force and SAC markings.

Nikon D4 Nikkor 600mm lens 1/2500 f/8 ISO 400 White Balance Auto Processed in Lightroom, Photoshopcc14, NIK and TK.

Nice photo, I think you could reduce the amount of land in the FG and have a stronger image. Thanks for sharing.

I like the placement in the composition Patrick and it's nice and sharp. I also like the slight vignette.
