Description
...this would be an impossible shot. It is a photo manipulation:)
First, you'd have to go back to some time between June 6, 1944 and May 8, 1945. Second, you'd have to be wing walking. Third, you'd have to be prepared to parachute to safety.
What is this? A German Junkers Ju 52 transport that I photographed sitting quietly on the airport at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio in June 2009 and a P-51B Mustang that I photographed at Arlington, Washington 13 months later.
To add a bit of realism I added motion blur to the two props on the Ju 52 and lens flares to the wings of the P-51.
Amazing what can be done with two unusable pictures when you combine them and add a wee bit of imagination:)

Stellar lighting effects in this excellent bit of manipulation/postwork, Bill! It appears that the Mustang is strafing the airfield. Incidentally, the Junkers Ju 52 was prominently featured in the cool movie, Where Eagles Dare, starring Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood.
Excellent capture(s) and melding Great POV!
Wow this is Really Somthing!! Very cool photo manipulation!!
Wow, scary scene! Well done!
What an incredible photo manipulation here, a wonderful and creative image! Congratulations!
Info for Harry: Sorry, you can't see the Bf 109 flying off the right wing of the Ju 52...that's what my P-51 pilot is firing at;-)
sure would be cool to sit upon the wind and just let the wind blow wonderful work warm hugs, Linda
wonderful and perfect work here!!
Wow! You're getting WAY good at this photo manipulation thing. Great job!
Ditto Tara---WOW---this is amazing!!
Or a Gods eye view!!
This would be a great new way to make vacation travel less of a chore.......being randomly strafed in between the peanuts and the movie!
Very well done Bill! You have created a story and a half with your manipulation. Clive
Bill you really did beautifully and I love that you thought of the motionblur and the lens flare. Super Well done
Great job Bill. I like the pov of the Ju-52 and detail of the corrugated skin. I also like the blurr of the props!!!
All clever stuff Bill but looks very realistic.
I'd say "It's going to be clo
Extraordinary! What a result!
Cool work Bill, not a view you'd want from any part of the Ju52, of the 3 requirements....parachuting to safety seems the best option about now.
Wow! Really excellent work Bill!! :)
fabulous!!
Amazing what you can do whwn you got the know how :o)
Wow! Bill.. That's really cool work.. The Ju-52 is very usable I think anyway. lol Great use for lens flare! Noted! I have two BIG postwork efforts coming up.. One I love to bits and the other I just can't get right, but its cool... This is fine.. More? Rob
Great POV on this one..
Now, this is cool!
Hope you had your safety parachute on when taking this shot, lol. Excellent job. Aloha
