When we started our event, we knew there were certain collections we just had to add to our list. One of those collections is the Lone Star Flight Museum in Galveston, TX which houses an exceptional collection headlined by their immaculate B-17G "Thunderbird," which will be our headline photo subject as well!
In Addition to "Thunderbird" we have a huge selection of aircraft to shoot including P-47 Thunderbolt, F6F Hellcat, F4U Corsair, F8F Bearcat and Spitfire. Coupled with some great backgrounds around the bay and march areas this will be a workshop for the history books!
Workshop format is very busy, so plan to go home exhausted but
satisfied:
Friday 7-11pm: Introductions and image presentation, gear basics
and preparation for morning shoot.
Saturday: Sunrise static shoot followed by breakfast. Classroom
time with air to air technique, aesthetic and technical instruction.
After lunch, formation training and air to air briefing with Doug
Rozendaal, our exceptionally talented and experienced photo pilot. Late
evening air to air shoot followed by dinner and night static shoot
utilizing Speedlights if time allows.
Sunday: Predawn mission brief followed by sunrise air to air
shoot. Breakfast debrief followed by classroom focused on digital
darkroom and image management to maximize your air to air images.
Compete by 1pm to allow for travel.
