\"Rich-0\"<\/a>Last Saturday on a very unseasonably hot and sunny October day, I was back at the amazing Gatwick Aviation Museum with my student for the day, Rich. <\/p>\n

After Rich and I had tackled a couple of my \u201cphoto challenges\u201d we moved onto the highlight of any visit to the aviation museum, which is a visit inside of the Shackleton plane. Once inside, you quickly realise that the space is very tight as it\u2019s packed full of old radar and radio equipment. Add to that a pile of camera equipment, a tripod and a two photographers and you can understand why a one to one session is the best way to get great shots.<\/p>\n

Due to the really high contrast in lighting conditions between the windows and the cabin, HDR is the way to photograph. Now HDR can either lead to a photo real image or a super real image. Both Rich and I favoured the over the top look that HDR can lead to, so that\u2019s what we did with the post processing.<\/p>\n

\"Rich-HDR-Pano\"<\/a>This is actually two HDR shots joined together to make a very wide panorama. Each of the two shots were made from 5 RAW files each shot at 2 stops apart. The software used to make the HDR and join them together was Photoshop CS5.<\/p>\n

\"Rich-HDR2\"<\/a>
This is the classic shot of the Shackleton cockpit. Rich had packed a 20mm lens for his Canon 5D body and it was an excellent choice here as he could get a single image of pretty much the entire cockpit. No mean feat, as it\u2019s pretty small once you get to the pilots seat.<\/p>\n

I must thank Rich for allowing me to use his photos in this post and sharing them with everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
