EHLE Early birds part 2.

Still on holiday, so today I drove to the Early birds foundation in Lelystad again; of course I had the camera with me, this time to do some HDR shots.

DH.82 looking out over the field:

If you have an original DH82 you obviously need an original manual as well:

A few real birds, not bothered at all by all the aircraft flying by:

The Storks arrived just in time to witness this 76-year old aircraft named after them leaving for an airshow in Austria:

Both birds in one shot!:

Some nice tone mapping there, Ferry ! (The Silvaire is super)

Thank you, Mike!
Actually the Luscombe is probably the one I'm least happy with as it looks too grey; the actual thing is white. I do like how you can bring out all sorts of details with HDR, seems to work really well in the engine close ups.
