Sometimes when I see great shots by people like Dave with his moonlit P-40 it inspires me to try something different.

Long ago I admired the stories of the very brave British pilots who flew secret flights with the amazing Lysander during WWII.

Alphasim supplied the plane.

But I needed the proper setting and lighting to bring out the dramatics of thie plane.

Dave supplied the inspiration.

I want to point out that in these shots there is no post shot editing. It's all done pre-flight with the settings on the video card itself.

I think that in these shots I finally got the balance correct to keep the night sky as dark as possible and bring clarity to the plane and its sorroundings.

See what you think.

You totally did a good job there in bringing the plane out of the darkness, it didn't occur to me to do it by tweaking the vid card, will have to give that a go.

Good-looking shots!

Really extraordinary pictures! Have you tried landing at night?  And how effective are the landing lights on this version of the Lysander?
You've produced truly dazzling pictures of the Lysander, in a setting appropriate to the aircraft's more famous missions....
Well done indeed!
