A very good title for the beginning of flight as well as the beginning of our first ever aircraft museum photography excursion... It was great fun to watch a fellow Rendo photographer approach each aircraft...what does she look at first, second, third...what type of POVs does she use...how does she compose...how many shots of each angle...must be a lot when you walk away with 630 shots after only 3 1/2 hours!!! Love your postwork on this Tara making this another one of your trademark photographs:)

This looks like a giant dragonfly--amazing our planes and jets of today got the origins from this amazing flying machine!!

Lovely shot of this early plane does look a bit like a dragonfly.. or a bird.. excellent posting Tara..

Ah yes, I remember this. It is Leonardo Da Vinci's design for a glider. Looks a bit like a bird. I really like the soft light on this. Very nice.

This is something to behold. I have never seen it from this position and it is an education. The work and thought that went into creating this bird so that man could fly - the passion is evident. As is the passion of the artist - the diffused glow and light ad wonderful dimension to the image. This is now pasted in my memory. Thanks, Clive

Oh wow this is great. I have a shot I took of a Wright Bros plane, but I think yours looks a tad older than mine.

AAW! This is a gorgeous shot and I love the milk effect here very much, Tara.

And man wanted to fly like the birds... So, he built gliders shaped liked birds! And most crashed... but, a very few, flew! Stunning picture, Tara! Well done... Rob....

It's amazing how early flying things look so frail and rather like insects! This is a sort of bird/dragonfly hybrid and it's as gorgeous as both and I can picture a little human figure in that rather complicated-looking seating contraption strangely resembling the head and legs of the insect. It's fascinating to look at "primitive" things like this and see the intellectual sophistication of the builder/designer, and your POV of this is perfect--it's a bit like the "beauty shot" of the USS ENTERPRISE or even the less graceful and far more brutish Galactica. I love it when images evoke such thoughts, and while I'm at it, I'd also fully expect to read about something like this in a China Miviélle novel--a delicate, winged contraption, powered by wind and thaumaturgy and piloted by a xenian--a Khephri perhaps, or a Scabmettler, or even a brave human. At any rate, this image evokes quite a lot and your treatment of it gives it a rich and wonderfully moody "otherworld" vibe. I love this!

Excellent.

Love the soft light... this is an excellent shot, and the exposed "bird" is just fantastic!

It was the beginning of what seems to be a never ending adventure. Very well seen and captured. A great share. I think that it is great that you and Bill were able to share this adventure together. Dana
