This last weekend the radio control aircraft club that I belong to hosted an event featuring warbirds, i.e., scale models of aircraft that flew in any of the wars since WWI, where military aircraft were first used. In our desert’s mild winter skies, there were an abundance of replicas in the air or on the ground, but all capable of being flown using a radio control transmitter by the pilot on the flightline.
Since I am grounded due to shoulder surgery, I brought my M 240 with just two Leica lenses, a Summarit 35mm & a Tele-Elmarit 90mm. Here are a few photos where the static displays were taken mostly with the 35mm & the airborne shots mostly with the Tele-Elmarit. Probably can’t call these photographs "street photography" – maybe "taxiway photography". I did quite a lot of this when I had my DSLR, but I am now getting adjusted to using my more sedate & also more capable rangefinder. And I tried spot metering using a cloudy white balance setting to warm up the colors a bit.
