Description

A little light hearted photo manipulation here. We appear to be seeing a World War II vintage FG-1D Corsair chasing a modern F-18F Super Hornet across a beautiful slice of Lake Burton, Georgia. Actually, I took a US Navy "Legacy Flight" from a photo of mine at Kansas City in late August 2008 and placed the same aircraft in the sky over one of my photos taken at Lake Burton while visiting two Renderosity friends three weeks before the airshow. The Lake looked great...it just needed a little something more IMHO :-) Thanks for all your comments and suggestions...I value each and every one of them. Bill:) This photo begs a ZOOM.

Excellent postwork Bill. But the question comes to mind, did they have enough space to make this turn at this angle given the trees of the island behind them? Nevertheless, I love the look and attitude of the Corsair, since they are becoming kind of rare and I love the kinked wing, Sig...

wow...well a few things, since I know nothing about planes...Even if one doesn't know the planes, they can see that these are planes from two different ages, so the fun & haunting feeling comes across right away. (Why haunting? I don't know: Maybe because it's like a vision of soldiers still flying long after the wars are over, or maybe ghosts who can fly forever because they are free...there's something haunting about it to me, like this chase goes on in another universe somewhere, maybe they're total friends...) And then the photograph itself is beautiful, the spread of water being less than half the shot, and in just the right proportion to the larger sky. I like the shadows, I like the choice of left & right land masses, and from my amateur's view, the planes seem to be in just the right place. Fun, but also beautiful. And...well...haunting. Very fine work, Bill.
