Frank, those are awesome

If you've said these were original digital made pictures I think everyone would believe you.

Back to serious mode...

The editing looks very good to me, natural colours and good exposure on a calibrated monitor. You could have tackled the horizon on the Tomcats. Nice sharpening too, nothing overdone.
I'm really glad you found a way to get those slides digitized satisfactory, as you wanted for a long time. You know I still love projecting slides, and therefor sought and found a good scanner too, a few years ago already. Just mentioning this 'cause you were the first to ever scan a slide of mine, remember?

See ya,

Dino. About the scanner, please read the page 1 of this thread, you will read all about the scanner and stuff

Stefan. Shame on you that you did not recognize this boat!

It is a US-1 Shin Maywa, one of the most special airplanes in the Japanese Inventory. This was actually for me the reason to go to Japan in the first place. Pity that I did not see some flying examples, but I am quite sure that there are people available who will put me back on my place with some nice pics of that. Mr Key, Mr Bogels, Mr Bos: Bring it on !

Meanwhile. Have a look at this.

Yo Frank,

Your wish is my command, don't you think I've got something better to do?

2 Dec 2007 Nyutabaru Airshow.... let's go!!!

Frank · Post by **Frank** » 30 Oct 2007, 13:03

Ah Mr Bos. Yeah yeah Rub it in. Thanks !

And nothing else to do ? Well yes, but that involves Heavy Work in Lightoom and you seem motivated to do other stuff like this

For Stefan and the others. Here are some Mitsubishi F-1's ?

Stefan · Post by **Stefan** » 30 Oct 2007, 13:08

Hi,

Now give us some flying T-33s!

Greetings,
