Just Jane Photos - First Merlin action of the year for me!!!

[SimonR]

Huge thanks to all at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, we were made very welcome yesterday and Just Jane is simply magnificent.

Here are a few HDR snaps - apologies that I've not had any time to tidy them up - I processed them last night and am spending the day with family so in the interests of timeliness I've snuck away to upload them ;-)

I hope you like them....

Cheers for the kind comments folks - Jane is a very easy subject to photograph - good from every angle!!

The reenactors were very serious about their art and really added to the photos, the poor ladies and gentleman were kind enough to stand stock still in the cold night air for several minutes so that we could get our pictures.

Some of the exposures that I took were upwards of 20 seconds, and when you're taking HDR sets you have to take three shots so it's often quite difficult to get the pictures you need.

Here are a few more of Jane:

I also took a couple of HD videos during while the engines were running. One's still uploading (it's about 2Gb!) but the shorter one is here.

Apologies about the lighting, it's a bit dark and moody I'm afraid, but you get the idea!!
