    Charleston: Military Aircraft

    Patriots Point is an outdoor museum complex in Charleston, South Carolina that displays all sorts of military information and equipment. Most of it is seen while walking around a submarine, battleship and aircraft carrier. The photos shown below were captured on the aircraft carrier. The light was terrible, so I had to rely solely on the use of interesting compositions to make appealing images.

    Please review in the Lytebox for best effect.

    And it worked.

    I hope more people than I will note the valuable learning in the above statement.

    I would say that your compositions have more than made up for the light conditions. #2 has a very somber effect to it.

    Hello Mike,
    As an aviator and a photographer I find your photographs interesting to view.
    A good tip also about the use of composition during bad weather.
    Good show!
