Purple Haze
This early morning scene was terribly backlit and I initially thought the file was destined for the trash. Recently, I decided to try another approach in processing the image. I abandoned any traditional aviation photography conventions. Instead, I decided to seek an interpretation that represents the feeling I had of this "Hawg" as is came out of the morning sun and cut loose with its 30 mm Avenger Gatling cannon. The backlighting of the smoke and the pastel colors of the morning held sway in my minds eye - thus the strong purple hue.
Press L to view on black.
