Tullahoma Posted July 23, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) At a local airshow in May, a number of airplanes from the days of my youth were on display. Leica IIIf RD, 35mm f/2.8 Jupiter 12, 1/500 @ f/11, Fuji 200. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Hi Tullahoma, Take a look here Airplanes I Remember. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
elansprint72 Posted July 23, 2006 Share #2 Posted July 23, 2006 Nice pair Jim- post more please. Has Luciano made it across from the old forum? He would appreciate these. Cheers, Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullahoma Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted July 23, 2006 Pete, Here are a few more from the same show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted July 23, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 23, 2006 Jim, a couple of good portraits of veteran aircraft. I like the sky; you were fortunate to get that as well. A few weeks ago I attended a local air show and the low cloud spoiled many aerial shots. I will post some taken with my Leica. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted July 23, 2006 Share #5 Posted July 23, 2006 Jim, I have just realised that I have only seen two pictures. On my slow connection others are struggling to reach me! David Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullahoma Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted July 23, 2006 My DSL connection has spoiled me. I would never have been able to post and view this forum on my old dial-up service. The local show here was to be a two day affair. I went the first day and it was hot, but beautiful. The second day, a small, high intensity, storm came along and they had to cancel the show and get the people out as others were still arriving. No people or airplanes were hurt, but there were a lot of disappointed airplane fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uulrich Posted July 23, 2006 Share #7 Posted July 23, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) The P51 is astonishing. :-) Just great. The Zero too but the boy w/ some minor blur is attempting to steel its show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullahoma Posted July 23, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted July 23, 2006 The boy definitely enjoyed the airplanes. The one you referred to as the Zero is apparently a WWII Vultee BT-13 trainer that was converted to resemble a Japanese dive bomber for use in making the movie, TORA, TORA, TORA. A real Zero would have retractible landing gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uulrich Posted July 23, 2006 Share #9 Posted July 23, 2006 .... [a] Japanese dive bomber for use in making the movie, TORA, TORA, TORA. A real Zero would have retractible landing gear. Yes. I stand corrected. Though I have not seen the movie I copy your explanation. Great shots. And I love you guys from 'Other' postings as it brings astonishing airplanes directly into my study. Cheers. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullahoma Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share #10 Posted July 24, 2006 To keep on the same theme, I will add one additional image, though it was made with a simple Exa SLR and a Steinheil Culminar 85mm f/2.8 lens. This is a 1932 Great Lakes biplane that was rebuilt from a "basket case" by its present owner, a retired airline pilot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tullahoma Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share #12 Posted August 29, 2006 Each passion has its place. I enjoyed a Leica IIIa before I took up flying, then enjoyed both for a lot of years. Now, no longer able to pass a flight physical, I'm back to photographing the airplanes that I can no longer fly. Thanks for looking. Jim N.

occupationhand Posted August 29, 2006 Share #13 Posted August 29, 2006 Hi, Would you tell me is there any filter used for these photos and which type of film? Thanks a lot. Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullahoma Posted August 29, 2006 Author Share #14 Posted August 29, 2006 There were no filters used for any of these photos. I don't even have Skylight filters to fit the lenses I used for them. The film for the airshow photos was Fuji 200 from Wal-Mart. I don't recall what was used for the Great Lakes photo, but suspect it was either Fuji 200 or 400.
