WASP at night by Collector Prof. Ulrich Rudofsky
This photo is of the LHD-1 USS WASP (AS32 model) operating in the dark
of night. I took this photo as follows: The base was dull black
cardboard and lighting was indoor sunlight. The camera was a Mavica SONY
MVC-FD71. The nightime effects were created by using the MSN Photo
Editor, mainly by turning down the gamma effect and increasing contrast.
The angle of approach to the WASP may be a high speed "S"-shaped descent
crossing amidships of the carrier and asking for emergency help!!! For
this photo (by an absolutely incompetent non-flyer like myself) I would
first pass to communicate with the WASP of my problem, and then try to
achieve the instructed attitude for a hopefully safe and uneventful
landing. I think that the proper angles of taking these photos is very
important to bring out the real beauty of this Argos model. A quick
lesson on how to operate helicopters or Harriers from the decks of an
LHD by a real US Marine flyer would be very welcome. Thank you in
advance! |
