Plane & Pilot proudly announces the finalists for this year’s Plane & Pilot Your Flying World Photo Contest. Finalists were selected from among hundreds of entries, and while there wasn’t a bad shot in the bunch, these images shone through.
And as usual, there was a wide range of subject matter in this year’s battle of the airborne lenses, with everything from bucolic panoramas of natural beauty to studies of the finer details of the flying machines we love so much.
Enjoy these outstanding submissions, but be sure to tune in next week when we announce the winners of this year’s Plane & Pilot Your Flying World Photo Contest!
I captured this scene on the morning of September 30 2006 at the Dayton South General Airport near Springboro, Ohio. I was there on assignment from a television documentary production firm out of Washington D.C. to capture still images of the event of this flying replica of the Wright B aircraft with a flying replica of the first airplane to fly in Argentina or Venezuela (I canât remember). It had stormed the night before and early that morning the sky was breaking with the rising sun, providing a beautiful silhouette and reflection on the tarmac at the airport. It was completely unexpected and it caught my eye as a very beautiful scene. Camera, lens and other equipment: Canon 1D Mark II DSLR camera with Canon 28-70mm f2.8L lens, handheld Exposure data: 1/250th second shutter speed, f18 aperture, 100 ISO Some basic adjustments for color and contrast completed in Adobe Lightroom.
