The Photographs

The photographs in this gallery were taken on a two-day visit to the national Museum of the United States Air Force in April 2019.     All the photographs were taken by me.    The photographs are displayed in the gallery of this folder.


In order to save space the size of the photographs were reduced to 33% of full size.     This gives adequate quality for viewing on screen and for viewing on social media etc.    If you want a better quality version you can email me (See "Contact me" in the site menu)  and I shall provide the image at whatever size you require.     I shall need the photo file name which you can get by clicking on the "info" icon at the bottom right of the screen when you are viewing the photograph.     The name begins with IMG_ and ends with .jpg.

The photographs were taken with a Canon T6S DSLR.


Most were taken with a Canon EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens.     A few were done with a 

Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Wide Angle Lens.


The camera was mounted on a tripod and each shot comprised three exposure:   one at the chosen shutter speed and aperture and one one stop higher and a third one stop lower.     Nearly all the photographs were a combination of the three shots via HDR on Corel paintshop Pro 2019 Ultimate.


No flash was used.
