1909 Wright Military Flier

1909 Wright Military Flier

I also photographed the 1909 Wright Military Flier last May.  The low perspective reduces the background distractions.

The background control layer adds strength to the overall image.  This layer took several days.  The detail requiring the most work was the wires as you might imagine.  I found that I did not have a steady enough hand to bring the background up to them.  I experimented with various tools and found that I could draw in the wires on another layer.  I picked a 2 px. width and a neutral color for the wire.  With the wires on a higher layer than the background allows me to paint below the wires without affecting them.

   

Did I mention that I use HDR for these captures?  The museum lighting is so contrasty that I find that I need it.
