This aircraft was the life's project of the gentleman who built it. Sadly, he passed away very soon after finishing the build and therefore was never able to fly it. His family donated it to the Quonset Air Museum after his death.

Location
The photograph was taken at the Quonset Air Museum in Rhode Island.Time
The time of day was early afternoon.Lighting
Lighting inside the hangar was tricky so I opted to shoot toward the sunshine coming in from the windows.Equipment
Taken with a Sony A-65 and a 70-400mm lens. No other equipment was usedInspiration
This aircraft has a rather sad backstory and I wanted to find a way to portray that in a photograph.Editing
Photoshop was my friend with this one. I worked with the white balance, overdid the clarity, and changed it to a black and white.In my camera bag
All I have in my bag is my A-65 Alpha, Sony 70-400 and 18-55 lenses.Feedback
Patience! Work with the lighting you have. Don't be afraid to take a thousand shots of the same thing. Tell the story.
