A view from the inside

[Darren Harbar]

Just the one image, but not a view we see every day.

Darren,
Only if you lie down behind the rear cockpit in a stowaway fashion...mind you no seats and the C of G (not Carolyn of Grace either) would be well aft so a fair bit of trimming required  i.e Stevie K on the front cowling above the fuel tank might work !!!!!
Hmm

Regards
Andy

[Olivia Grace]

Very unusual photo Darren, I like it!

[James Wheeler]

Blimey!

It's Olivia! 

Nice image Darren, gives a nice view of the workings of the cockpit.

Just to continue here are a couple of unusal shots I took just before XMAS....
OK a competition (no prizes)..I could buy the winner a beer I suppose.

See if you can work out where I had the camera
PS Stevie K and Richard G are not allowed on this one...Sorry chaps




Good Luck

Looking inside the wing through one of those little round access holes on the underside?

[Darren Harbar]

Thanks for the comments. The shot is compiled from four seperate images, which have been stitched together. The lighting levels varied in the shots which needed a lot of colour correcting to make the whole image look like one. I would like to try a complete side to side panaramic next, so watch this space!

By the way Andy, I agree with James in that these shots are through the wing inspection ports.

Are we right??

[Gate Master]

Getting warm....but which one and in which wing ??

Aha
Andy

[James Wheeler]

Firstly... None of this "are we right" Darren I got in first..

Secondly.. You can't add rules to the contest as you go along - it doesn't say "where precisely is my camera"

Thirdly... one of the ports near the fuselage on the port wing.

James,
Actually I can't remember either.....as for adding bits why not keeps the thread going.......was I wearing a beige , red or navy blue ML407 Polo top when I took the photos ?


OK enough is enough you win, I will buy you a beer at the Gathering

I will go with grey polo shirt

I will donate my pint to Darren, I will probably arrive on my bike and don't tend to drink at all when riding it

Great picture Darren - how did you "stitch" them together?

Hi Guy,

Its all done in Photoshop CS2. The picture consists of four parts of which the top is one, and the bottom is three shots (left, right and middle) I cut and paste the pictures in parts, and each part overlaps and feathers into the next. This gives the basic structure. After this, parts of the sections are erased to prevent odd looking levers and controls. The layers are then blended, and then colour corrected. It only takes a few hours!!

  Very wise James, you;d probably spill most of it !! 
    Interesting shots from Darren and Andy, not sure about a grey polo though.... security said they had spotted
  someone  hanging around in a purple and cerise leotard and matching cape !!
