The Original images
Returning to base
This image is from the Timeline events photoshoot that I went on at Wattisham Airfield in Suffolk. The Phantom was parked on the hard standing in front of the hardened hangar and at just after 5 pm the sun was setting.
The original image has been cropped to A4 dimensions, had black boosted and using Photoshop the branches behind the re-enactors and the aircraft have been cloned out.
My other images from this photoshoot are in this blog.
Orion, the bald eagle
This image is from the Timeline events photoshoot that I went at the Hawk Conservancy Trust. Orion was placed on a log and sat patiently while we all worked around him taking images.
I cropped the image to A4 dimensions giving Orion lots of space to ‘look into’. I used Lightroom’s Auto settings and then tweaked black and white clipping and made some small adjustments to contrast and sharpening.
