Corsair Maiden Flight
On May 15, Tom Strom Jr. tested his Corsair preparatory to a scale competition later in the month. Below are a few images of the day.
I have sized the images to 1000px so they will display best on a large monitor—although they will scale down for smaller displays.
I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed capturing them.

About the Images
The images were taken with a Canon Rebel T3i. I used a 100mm macro lense set at 1/800 for the images. All images received simple processing in Photoshop and were saved as low-resolution JPEG images that were optimized for the Web. See "A New Photographic System for an Old Photographer" for more information about my photographic system.
