My name is Oliver - Retro among friends - and from my point of view the world started existing on November 9th 1971, I have the honor of being a citizen in the Kingdom of Denmark and I've lived most of my life in the royal capital of Copenhagen. I've had many jobs over the years; from serving in the King's Own Artillery Regiment at the end of the Cold War to dance club security at the beginning of the 21st century, but 5-years apprenticeship in the late 90's means that I can call myself photographer. I've never really liked labels, but I needed something to put on my business card so today I call myself "Independent Photographer/3D Artist/Freelance Writer" but the truth is that I see myself more as an observer who use photography, 3D art and short stories to present the rest of the world to my vision of it.

" Now, if this was a science fiction movie, this is the part where the brilliant boy genius that everybody has been ignoring up to this point, pipes up and tells the balding Captain that by cross linking the Warp Core, the Impulse engine and a reverse framistat, then dividing the warp field lattice by the square root of last Tuesday, he can get them all home."

I'll forgive the bomber faux pas as you've done an otherwise excellent job of capturing the period, the snapshot look of it only enhances the feeling. Different numbers on the P-38 noses would've helped though.

It may of happened. Spits escorted B-17's on the later stages back. Also Lancs and Halifax's DID undertake daylight missions very late in the war. Despite there night time camouflage! So, as such. mate the picture is just fine. Top stuff! (drone! drone!) Rob.

s'ok, at that distance in your pic, they could easily pass for b-24's, that's closer? nice feeling of altitude in the piece. the blue cast works really well in this...it has the feel of a frame of 8mm colorized film. i was looking through an album of my dad's photos taken from b-17's over germany and you do capture the impromptu nature of those photos. very nice work.

nice after fx and even the colours look like the 40's recordings

Nicely weathered. Does look like the picture has seen some time in the closet in the shoe box.

Great feeling to the image irrespective. Good use of the props and the perspective you have to creat the scene.
