Not much color here in Virginia, yet. But, Autumn light is great.

P-51 on the ramp at sunset after a fine day of flying...something other than a P-51.

Love that P51 shot!

I'm assuming this fits the category, since the only light was a strobe fired from behind. I'm experimenting trying to duplicate something I saw recently.

I thought about that for this challenge but I don't have the proper equipment. Christmas gift to myself?

Well done.

Thank you. Actually not much equipment. An unmodified speedlight on a stand about 5' behind. I'm not happy with the width of the line, as I was striving for a much thinner one. I'm thinking about trying it again with about double the distance on the light, should give me a harder light with less wrap around.

Thank you. We had just come back from a day of flying and they had her parked on the ramp for an event the next day. We had her all to ourselves and I was able to move around to get the shots I wanted.
