Catalina - Southend Airshow
Hey Guys
Catalina mid display for you.
I am quite fond of this pic, I really like the clouds in the back ground, aircraft well exposed (in my opinion),nice amount of prop blur.
Such a graceful aircraft love her to bits

peter, go get that sensor cleaned!!:eek: i hope you dont mind me working on this. thought the color was a little off. too blue. added some warmth and worked on the shadows a bit too. i agree, i like it too. never seen this plane! and it's one of ours!!
nah you are more then welcome, working on a small laptop at the moment and didnt spot all the dust spots, removed a couple of larger ones.
Ty :)
I have been working on the shadows on it, but couldnt decide if/how to lighten them and give the natural feel
Sweet pose Peter .. and the slow shutter speed do make the props look good !!! Like the re post !
I was going to ask you if you had a PBY:) Should be lots of them flying around !! ... Harold what about the T6 :)
just posted one up for you!!!:DOriginally Posted by Alfred Forns
here is one i was working on, colors are alot more akin to how i remember them at the time.
Meh i need to work on my PP
that's a ton better than the OP! nice work!
Hi Peter, I like the image for reasons stated above. Harold's repost was an improvement on the OP. Your final post was a radical departure from your original post. The added warmth helps the image but the clouds have an entirely different look. I like this lighting with the smoothness of the clouds in H's repost...
yeh i agree Dav i prefer the clouds in the OP but i think the aircraft in the repost hmm...decisions lol
She's a beauty. I really like the angle you got on this one, and the clouds and warm light really make it.
I'm having your normal sensory overload with this re post David !! Love the colors for the clouds and the metallic look for that plane !! Sweet !!!
i love the repost too! amazingly, i actually think i know how you did it!!:)
LOL ... a drug-free sensory overload. Only with Photoshop! :cool: :D
love the work you did there David, care to share the workflow with me?
Happy to. My "secret" is that I start off with an idea of what I want to see (eventually), then play and experiment
until I get there or close to it. I usually end up with a haphazard stack of layers, which in this case looks like this:
Rather than talk through all that, I'll give you the psd file and you can turn on each layer from the bottom up to see my tortured path. :D Here's a download link (18 MB):

The key is getting that idea in your head of what you want. I was envisioning an illustration such as you might find on the cover
of an old paperback or maybe a children's book. Here's another version I just did starting with that same idea ...
have to say it mate, you are amazingly good at this, thanks for your help its greatly appreciated :)
