DC3
by pauljay
Having made the analogy I now have to put my lens where my mouth is! The bane of aviation photographers is the DC3, or any other tail dragging aircraft. Always difficult to get the horizon correct, as with sloping fields.
Before anyone comments it appears that my sensor had been dragged through a cesspit that day!
These DC3s are used in Florida's Lee County for mosquito spraying.

I flew in one back in the 80's, fabulous. I've still got the picture I took of the oil spewing out of the engine cowling. Happy days!!

I used to fly in these things around Ethiopia, Somalia, etc. over 40 years ago. The arabs called them "the camels of the air" because of their complete reliability.
This is a good shot of one of the greatest aircraft. Nice soft colours and good exposure.
