Bad Landing...by
ManicComment by Manic: I had hoped that everyone who saw this shot would realise that this is a MODEL aircraft, not a real plane, yet from the comments I can see that little things like the scale of the grass and the very thin landing gear went unnoticed by a couple of you :o)
Yes, this was a set-up shot - I dare not crash this one, since it doesn't belong to me! I tried various different angles, trying to make it more exciting, and this one was not the best of the bunch. However, I couldn't use some of the other shots, since there are various background object I had to keep out of shot to hide the fact that this was taken on my back lawn and not on the flying field.
As I said before, this was not my prefered shot, as the focus was on the nose of the plane, rather than the main body, but I was pleased with the lighting - I did some shots later in the day when the sun was brighter, but the glare off the wings was too great...
Thanks for all the comments! :o)
