Radar Command Station
This view looks toward the cockpit of the plane and shows the radar control station as well as other of the controls of the craft. The entire plane is filled with gauges, switches, power supplies, buttons and levers...
This EC-121 (currently undergoing cosmetic restoration) can be seen at the Combat Air Museum, located in Forbes Field, Topeka, KS. Their WebSite is combatairmuseum.org.
Foto Facts... This series of EC-121 shots were taken using a hand-held Nikon D750 with a Sigma 12-24mm lens. I used an ISO of 2000 and f 5...then a series of 7 shots were bracketed with a full stop increment, as there was a lot of contrast between the outside light and the much dimmer interior. These 7 images were then merged using the HDR option in PhotoShop..(CC 2018)...then processed with Adobe Camera Raw. For "Pixel Peepers" on here, please check out the "Original Size" in the Download option on here... I was very impressed with the great amount of detail that was visible, even with less than perfect conditions.
As an added incentive, there will be a prize for anyone correctly counting the total number of switches, knobs, dials, levers, buttons and coffee cups in these three photos. Decision of the Judge is final....allow 6-8 months for delivery...!
(Don't hold your breath...!)
