Wish I Could Fly Photo

Photographer’s Note

Airliners.net never shows airplanes this way, usually they are shown as big as possible to make all details as clear as possible. Anyway, I wanted to show this Douglas DC-3, taken further away, leaving space around the aircraft in the way she is in her natural element. Inspired by Barbara Kehl and her minimalism.

More info of this classic aircraft on my Veteran of skies photo.

Title Wish I Could Fly, a Roxette song from the album Have a Nice Day, 1999.

Hi Kari

The light aircraft is well positioned in the frame. Excellent colour & sharpness, with a marvellous deep grey, & blue sky backdrop. Tfs!

Hi Kari, I like the minimalism here and that you're still playing with the Boys' Toys. Think I wouldn't mind one of the tall ships to sail round the world with though. This is a nice old aircraft, I'm amazed she still stays up there. Good soundtrack too. Have a nice day, Lisa.

Barbara will be pleased when she finds out she has inspired you here, although she hasn't been around lately.
Even though it doesn't fill the frame like your previous one it is still larger in the sky than most of us get to take planes.
Walking on the beach today there was a RAF fighter jet doing some kind of maneouvres and deafening us all. Of course I didn't have my camera.

Hello Kari,
I agree with what you wrote in the Note concerning the aircraft being a natural part of the "Nature"! wow... of the sky, of course :)
Anyway, a bit of the blue sky which you included in the photo enlivens the view very well. And I like the position of the plane very close to the left side of the image.
Very good minimalism :)
Best regards,
Elena

Hi Kari,
excellent photo work and one of the most fascinating captures of an airplane I have seen so far. The cloud is a perfect background because of it’s color. The light is fantastic too! TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet
