Description
...Rob (debbielove) is a plain plane nut...like me and several of our other mutual friends here on Renderosity.
...here's Rob with camera and up to his eyeballs in airplanes at Dayton, Ohio where we both shot close to 2000 pictures each in a two day period.
...BUT OF EVEN MORE INTEREST, here's the exact picture Rob is taking as I am taking his picture:) Rob posted this photo in his gallery on December 9th, 2009.

Thanks for the link to Rob's shot. I love this shot of him, as he is taking his shot. Very complementary. Dana
It doesn't get any better than Rob posing with a Martin B-10. A fine capture, Bill.
I love this shot for its music...another dynamic, vital capture of planes in a museum. You have such a feel for this...You may have just been trying for a shot of your friend shooting planes, but you wound up getting this highly angular, musical juxtaposition of 2 planes interacting with each other, those wonderful shadows in the background (visual counterpoint), the platform near the left-top, that "stuff" (ignorance alert!!!) on the right-top that looks like they're storing gym equipment (lol---though maybe it's just painting on the walls), and the wonderful line of the railing on the floor and the stark green carpet (?) against the floor & in contrast with the yellow wing---which is one of the most lit portions of this shot. A real interplay of line, shape & hue---almost an abstract, in its music and vectors. And there are little things, like the propeller of the front plane seeming to touch the back wing of the higher one. These things had to be in your inner eye, if not your outer; and together (I was gonna say, "it spells 'mother'")---together it's a beautiful museum shot, with that muted lighting & wonderful interaction of parts, lights & surfaces. You're closer to Tara, aesthetically, than you may know; and I fell in love with this shot when it first went up. (And what does "hog" refer to? I'm not a plane expert, so if it has something to do with the model, or that pilots used to be called "hogs," or dayton is known for its pork, well then I'm out of the loop!)
