Default Re: How bout a few Vintage aircraft photos?

MORE are coming...
It is quite a process to get these into digital format as they are large format 3x5 high quality negs. (My great grandfather owned a Newspaper, then was a sports editor for the Charlotte Observer and edited the NC truck owners magazine so the equipment was at hand)
I set up a high intensity light behind the negs and use a long focal length 8 megapixel camera to get the neg into digital, then invert the image and white balance in photoshop.

I am communicating with Getty Images about hosting the collection.

My grandfather was an engineer (designed and built papermills) so I have all kinds of photos of construction of Hotels in downtown Charlotte, radio towers, etc...

Austell Boxboard Mill #1 (just outside of Atlanta)
