After getting some good constructive comments, I have resubmitted the same T-37 photo. I changed the color with less blue and removed the vignetting. If you wonder, I did not crop the photo as with a helmet, parachute, and firmly strapped in, it was difficult to turn around with a camera in hand. If you have an idea for framing or changing the photo, give it a try. It was taken in 1973 and I used the old negative to make the photo. Lots of work to make it look this good. The instructor was flying at the time.

Not only did you earn your wings flying with these planes ... with this photo and being open to suggestions towards that of improvement ... you done earned some cookies for your photographic and creative efforts.

Thanks for going the extra distance, Ted.

And in the current vernacular of the kids ... this is a tres cool shot, knowing that you were behind the lens ... and flying in the plane at the same time (the instructor was flying the plane, not Ted).


p.s. You can view Ted's first posting ... here ... for comparative purposes.

Couldn't resist ... had a quick go in CS3 Photoshop:

"T-37 Trainer - Reworked"

/\ No crop, obviously. Just some minor Curves adjustments along with some additional sharpening, more or less.

A B & W version, upon a cursory look ... is more involved than originally thought.
