Office Of One
09:37 Sunday morning. The static display of the F-22 Raptor is just screaming to be photographed. Decided to break a few rules here and only took a shot of the F-22’s office. What an incredible plane! The flight demo later on was just stunning as usual. Taken at the 2009 Airpower Over Hampton Roads Airshow at Langley Air Force Base, VA. I just love the lighting in this shot.

Andy Mueller replied
Thank you so much Gavin
artisandelimage
the lighting is indeed gorgeous, a beautiful image and a great title…
my best, francis.
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you so much Francis, too kind of you to say!
Dennis Jones -...
Are they still not allowing photos of the entire plane? I saw the first group that went to Korea a couple of years ago when I was TDY in Hawaii… Yep…an awesome plane…
Really like the deep color on this one…
Andy Mueller replied
Sorry Dennis, I had replied to you comment as a comment, rather than to you directly. Here it is again:
Oh no Dennis, they do allow full shots of the F-22. Had heavy armed security around it, but you could just snap away at will. If you have never seen the flight demo, it will leave you breathless. The manuevers this plane can pull off are UNREAL …. should not be possible ….

Lance Leopold
To me,Andy,this is so more powerful than a full shot,it’s bloody awesome,and so “in your face”,fabulous work!!!
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you Lance, yes, that’s how I feel about this shot as well. Like the “arrow” the light is forming on the tip of it’s “nose”. Thank you so much!
Michael Bermi...
Mate, You have Broached the boundaries of the Norm….And pulled it off spectacularly!!
I love the Subtle light reflected from the HUD, and the way the light intensifies to a point on the tip of the Radome.
Sensational!
Michael Bermi...
Great Minds think alike it would seem!
Andy Mueller replied
Yes Sir, I would tend to agree with you (great minds ..). So, I am hoping that you begin to see the value of poss. an October visit …. Thank you for the kind comment, mate!
Ann Rodriquez
The lighting is great, and the sheer simplicity of the shot is too!
Andy Mueller replied
Excellent point, considering that there is NOTHING simple about this subject, it is probably the most complex plane to date. It’s neat to stop it back down to simplicity. Haven’t thought about it that way, but like your train of thought …. Thanks!
Globalphotos
Wow, great shot !!! Stunning and deadly
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you Varinia, deadly indeed ….
Michael Bermi...
It will be closer to October… Than July… Me thinks…
Jonicool
Wow…Brilliant comp and light Andy …it really shows it off beautifully!!
Andy Mueller replied
Thanks a ton, Joni
Kelly J
Wow!! excellent shot Andy!!! Love the closeup!
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you so much kelly!
MikeO
The tight shot, the deep complementary colours and that perfect lighting add an aura of menace and threat that would somehow be missing in a full image!
I love it!!!
Well seen, composed and taken.
Congrats and regards,
Mike
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you so much Mike, I like your explanation on this tight shot. I have to admit that I agree whole heartedly (however that is spelled …)
Ann Rodriquez
LOL – good call. : ) To the untrained eye, ; ) there is simplicity here…
Marvin Collins
Great lighting, excellent exposure, very well done Andy!!
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you so much Marvin!
Spencer Trickett
Top shot my friend! Incredible light and exposure, a well balanced photo in every sense. A wonderful clean image with plenty too look at!
Andy Mueller replied
Very kindly said, thank you Spencer.
Edward Denyer
Awesome angle on this – Ted
Béla Török
Fabulous composition and lighting, Andy!
Peter Lawrie
This is just fantastic. It is so menacing looking. You have captured the whole essence of this aircraft in such a small detail, deadly!!
Andy Mueller replied
Wow – thank you so much!
Mark Weaver
pretty damn sweet, F22 is one awesome bird….
Andy Mueller replied
You got that right, that plane is one heck of a ride …
Jeffrey Sanders
Great shot. I have a similar one from Sat that I’ll be posting soon.
Andy Mueller replied
Cool, looking forward to seeing your work. So, did you get the B-2 as well? She didn’t fly-by on Sunday.
Ken Thomas
This is magnificent work!!
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you, Ken!
Stuart Baxter

Andy Mueller replied
Thank you Stuart, I know you know a thing or two about light, so I appreciate the feedback.
Scott d'Almeida
stunning.
Angel Perry

Great capture. – Peter
Andy Mueller replied
Means a lot coming from you, Thank you Peter!
Karen Tillotson
Wow!
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you Karen
Per Ove Sleen
These things are such a paradox to me. I simply adore the sleekness, love the power and thrust it invokes. And the design….just don’t get me going he he. And then you have the fact that this is also captured in a extremely well done photo by a experienced and very skilled photographer using all the tricks in the book to draw you in (just check his gallery and be convinced).
But then as an pacifist and active anarchist/peace activist (not the aggressive bullying and rampaging “so called anarchists by those afraid of real anarchists” one’s always fucking up peaceful demos…but the real…decentralising of power and resources and we all get to decide our own destiny kind), and that of course sets in motion another and very different set of emotions then the feelings expressed at the top here….but that is of course in this case just fanfuckingtaskic.
Art is supposed to be provoking and to evoke intense feelings….when that happens you have succeeded BIG! time my man….
Judgement: ART! (high brow kind LOL)
Please don’t get me wrong…I love the picture, and most of your work as well, but I think I have expressed that earlier in another comment.
And I am not looking for a discussion on politics or religion for that matter.
I have my convictions, and others have theirs…..on the bubble it’s all the wonderful art that has centre stage…
Thanks for sharing…..
Andy Mueller replied
Well said Per. I respect your views and opinions, as i know you do mine. That is the essence of humanity! I sure do hope not to offend anyone with my work. Thank you for your comment Per!
jacqleen
PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you again, jacqleen!
Per Ove Sleen
If anyone are offended by your work, they should have their head examined. I guess you’re just the same as me…you have an opinion based upon what you know and what you believe I guess…so do I…cool bananas as fare as I am concerned…and your work…he he well it speaks for it self….why do you think we keep returning to your gallery?...
Tracey Mac
I don’t need to say anything…......... you already know :))
Andy Mueller replied
You rock, yes I’m afraid I already know …. thanks Tracey !!!
Laddie Halupa
Absolutely unbelievable, Perhaps the most beautiful fighter ever created.
Michele Conner
Nice picture… I’m intrigued to see the plan fly now after reading your comments. For some reason this reminds me of Darth Vader…
Andy Mueller replied
I have seen it at 3 airshoes now, and the maneuvers that this plane can do, defy aeronautics. It can literally do a “powerloop” where the entire plane does a 360 degree look while just about remaining at the same altitude? How is that possible (vectored thrust, advanced flight control ssystems, etc). Thank you for the comment!
Kyle Odom
Not so many man-made creations project this much power and elegance at the same time. I don’t see how this could have been shot and edited any better. A really top notch capture and a favorite.
Great shot Andy!
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you so much Kyle!
Wayne Taylor
Andy, this picture is another one of your amazing images that just can not be improved upon. It was obvious from the first time you showed me that this is photographer quality. We’ll be seeing this one is a magazine sometime soon.
Andy Mueller replied
Too kind Wayne, simply too kind of a comment …. But I will take it and read it a couple more times!
D.M. Mucha
Great shot. I like the lighting in this shot too.
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply ….
chrisdot
Great capture mate. looks fierce.
Andy Mueller replied
Thank you so much! Much appreciate the visit & comment.
