I know I’ve been to the Museum of Flight a few times, and yes I know that I keep taking the same pictures. But here’s the thing, I don’t care, I love the place 🙂
Last weekend we went back again as we had family in town and as usually it was fantastic. Of course many of the plains remain the same and some don’t change position but it’s always to try and get a different perspective or a new shot.
As usual I turned up with a tripod (much to the frustration of other photographers who didn’t bother) and got some great shots. In total I took 400 pictures (or just over) and out of those ended up with 50 I really like. I won’t bore you with all 50 here :-), so I just picked 10 to share.
We also went to a new “Space” exhibit and went inside a space shuttle – which is huge! Unfortunately they don’t let you go in the cabin (which would have been fun) but it’s still pretty impressive just how massive the thing is. We also went into Air Force One, or at least the version of Air Force One that Kennedy used. I always think it’s fun to check out where Jacky O took a crap 🙂
The cockpit image image is actually Air Force One and this came out well when you consider I shot this through a perspex screen.
They also have a great bridge that spans the major road by the Museum, that links some of the buildings together, and while on the bridge Abi did one of her cheer moves (called a Scorpion I think) so I shot that and like the image with the bridge disappearing behind her – so at least that’s a new pic.
There was also one pic where I lied on the floor looking straight up – people were walking past looking at me like I’m an idiot (which of course I am), but the image came out great – love that one too.
Another one I liked was a closeup of an Engine. It’s a pretty old engine full of brass pipes and tubes but again came our really well.
Anyway a really nice few hours out, if you haven’t been I really recommend it.
