P-51 Mustang

This photo was handed down to me by my dad, he has a great interest in planes so I wanted to see if there were any photos I could play with.

The polished aluminium body and clouds just begged HDR so this is what I came up with. Scanned the image and imported it into Lightroom then exported it as 3 different exposures and merged it in Photomatix. Put it back into Lightroom and touched it up a bit. I decided to leave the spots of dirt and stuff for an older ‘feel’.

P-51 Mustang belongs to the following groups:

Complex Simplicity of Art, Aeronautics & Aviation, Altered by Design (3 per day), PixElations - The Art of Photoshop and War Available for sale as

Greeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

I clicked on another one of your shots and then saw this one and said aloud “oh shit” This is awesome. I went through hundreds of negatives my grandfather took when he was in the airforce and I scanned some in a cleaned them up a bit. This is amazing.
