This was my first time working with studio equipment and lighting. It was also the first time I had worked with models (Lucky they are family).
Taken on Australia Day 2009.
Taken with a Canon EOS 30d, Canon Ex 550 speedlight and 18-55 EFS lens. The speedlight triggered the Modelling lights and Strobe flash. One strobe was fitted with a softbox and the other with a reflective umbrella. A 3 meter black backdrop was used with sheets on the floor.

LEARJET MODEL 23
The Model 23 is the first of Learjet's series of small business jet aircraft. First flown in 1963, the Model 23's performance, good looks, and a sense of power and prestige made the aircraft such a success that the name Learjet is still synonymous with the entire class of small business jets no matter what company actually built them. Compared to modern business jets, some of which are the size of airliners, the Model 23 is small and cramped, but in an era when business aircraft were all propeller driven it stood out and created the demand for larger, faster and more comfortable aircraft that continues unabated today.
This Model 23 is the 15th built and was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration on July 31, 1964.
Henry and Louise Timken of Ohio purchased this aircraft new and flew it for Both the Timkens were many years. pilots and always flew together, alternating as pilot and copilot. Louise Timken was the first woman to qualify for a type rating in a Learjet. On February 28, 1992 Ms. Timken and the Learjet both made their final flight to deliver the aircraft to the Pima Air & Space Museum for permanent display. After her arrival in Tucson she said, "It's time we both had a rest." Ms. Timken passed away in 1998 at the age of 89.
