airplane graveyard. mojave, ca. 1997.

empennage of retired lockheed L-1011 tristar in the process of being scrapped. shot in 1997. nikon n90s + sigma 24-70mm f/2.8, fuji velvia RVP 50.

(re)scans from the archives. bit by bit, i've started rescanning all of my old airplane graveyard slides & negs and re-editing them using current software. obviously, today's apps are much more versatile than when i originally posted these shots six years ago. scanned with a nikon coolscan 5000, edited with lightroom LR4 and photoshop CS6.

i've started replacing the shots that i had originally uploaded way-back-when and will start adding photos that were never posted before.

and as a brief recap, all of these photos were taken in 1997-1999, when access at mojave airport was still possible. in the present post 9/11 security world we live in, access is not possible at all and photography is prohibited on airport property. please don't ask me how to get access - i can't help.

as always, thanks again to everyone that has favorited and commented on my airplane graveyard shots in the past.
